Favorite lenses, especially primes, are these days an indulgence allowed mostly to the artistic enthusiast. If you NEED to get a shot for a news paper or of the family album, a zoom is almost always a better choice. But if you are going to just wander about taking shots, then your favorite prime is also your muse. If I were a mainly zoom lens guy, I'd be shooting Nikon. I stay with pentax because of the small bodies and affordable primes. Zooms are the tool of choice for Disneyworld. This is certainly not true of everyone, but it's absolutely true for me.
