See the word "replace"?

You can talk all you want about amazing sharpness in a 135, but it is not going to help you get the shots you need at a fast moving wedding.

I shoot wedding using almost exclusively primes......it's not a problem. It comes down to your preference and shooting style. Personally I love it and the fact that you are telling me that it can't be done is silly. I do it all the time and have no plans to change.

Agreed the assumption something cant be done to me just says the poster cannot do it or is not willing to learn. Fair enough if that's the case but you cannot label something as impossible, there are many people who shoot solely with prime lenses.
