People have a hard time accepting that a zoom, will > beat some fixed-focal length or the 'pride' term is prime lens. The accepted term within the photographic community is "prime". It has nothing to do with pride, or quality, it is merely the word given to identify single focal length lens. The reason why some people have a hard time admitting that a zoom can be better than a prime is because with few exceptions, good quality prime lenses are better lenses than zooms of any quality, based on accepted criteria such as resolution, contrast, colour fidelity, and minimization of the six major optical abberations.
