Only if used incorrectly.

Regarding lenses, in any dynamic situation when changing lenses is not practical a zoom is the answer. I would recommend the 16-55 as the first lens to get for pretty much anything unless an ultra-light setup is the goal. Unless you need the razor thin DoF that the primes deliver it is an excellent and versatile lens, including portraiture.
