Whenever I look for lenses for my camera, theres two big differences in the ones that I look for. Both lenses are great at what they do, but are very different from another. You wouldn't think two lenses could be that different, I know I was surprised. Prime Lenses are lenses that are stuck at a fixed focal length. Which basically means you can't zoom with them. Sounds like a bad thing, but there's a lot of benefits to them. One being that since they don't have to worry about zooming, the image is way sharper than zoom lenses. They are usually smaller too, making them easier to throw in a bag. Problems with them stem from not being able to zoom. Recomposing a shot is a bigger pain because instead of slightly zooming in, you have to physically move the whole camera. Its a huge first world problem, I know. Zoom lenses are better in the way that they can zoom, duh. Problems arise with these too though. Like I said earlier, the image is softer usually and they're big...
