TFTM says - For me, it depends on how much control I have over the situation. The more control I have the more likely it is for me to use a prime. Photoshoot; primes. Events? Zooms
This is pretty much a simplification but the truth nonetheless.
If you have the time and you want the best, then prime is preferred, also light might be an issue? Prime is king here.
Travel- zoom can really be handy. Where ever time is an issue and you have to get the shot. Also weight! if you are travelling consider the extra weight.
I went to china and had 4 lenses, 10-17fish, 50f1.4 ,75-300 and 18-200. The 18-200 almost never left the camera. Just no time to change. When i did have time to set the shot up and get the right distance the FA50f1.4 went on and the difference in IQ was worth it but I HAD to have the time.
Now i have 35f2 and generally it is staying on the camera.
When i get the chance i will buy the 18-250 so i can travel light but have a low light lens as well. For all other times i will use primes, their image is just a lot better (with out knowing yet how good the DA* are going to be.).
