From my own experience, shooting with zooms makes me a bit lazier in composition and more prone to snapping away. Still, I often resort to a zoom as a walk-around, every day carry combo because I might just decide to go on a hike, or for a quick run to the corner store, so I grab my camera bag and move out knowing I'm ready for any occasion. For Monovember I will go to a prime, probably the FA 77mm.
On the K-1 I've been very happy with using the DA 18-135, minimal vignetting at the wide end, and WR, so I'm not in a hurry to get the 28-105mm.
I did buy an FA 24-90 IF AL from a PF member, and that has been a great lens for many occasions. I can't understand why the original owner did not like it, but it has worked out very well for me.
