First, I have a fine Sigma zoom lens that I use for all sorts of snapshots of my grandkids. I also shoot these snaps JPG because everyone wants a copy ASAP. It is the only practical way to go.
I use primes and RAW for the photographs I keep to enter into shows and possibly sell. I know the best settings for the four primes I own. But most importantly, I am lazy. If I take a zoom I tend not to move around and compose the lens on the spot. Each time I make a lens selection, I am forced to think how the photo will come out in print. I hardly ever do that with my snaps since my grandkids are cute and there are plenty of relatives who want snaps of them.
It may be a bit crazy but I think using primes for my best photos has made me a better photographer.
