Well, as I said, I never had the chance to put my fingers on one of
those zooms. For your purpose as mentioned above, there is IMHO no clear
and obvious decision. Whatever you'll choose, it will be a compromise.
The zoom is more flexible for framing, the prime has less distortion,
likely better corner sharpness and a little less flare - which is in all
fairness to be expected. It's not an easy decision. If you can live with
the distortion, MY decision would be the zoom for flexibility.
