I think it’s fair to say that more photographers shoot with zoom lenses than prime lenses, if only because the majority of kit lenses are zooms. But I also think that while there’s an awful lot of content out there extolling the virtues of primes, we could give zoom lenses a little more love.
For the longest time, primes were an unrivalled hallmark of optical quality, but many mirrorless-era zoom lenses have levelled the playing field somewhat. It’s not uncommon to hear of a zoom lens that delivers prime-like optical quality.
