One of the values I find in a short zoom is that in shooting events and parties, having a good zoom keeps you from loosing shots. There often isn't time to move and you may not have the space to move forward or back up. Changing a lens can cause you to loose the moment. At this time, I'm using the Sigma 17-70. I find it acceptably sharp and has enough range to cover just about any shot I would need at an event or party. There aren't many zooms that can match the IQ of a prime but a zoom always beats a lost shot. Of course there's always the option of doing events and parties with a lens like the DA 15 or 21 and cropping when you need to but a short prime has you getting in peoples faces a lot. If you never shoot at events and parties, then all this is meaningless.
