Hi,

Enjoy you new lens!

I use both zooms and primes.  I use my 18-55 zoom for family, travel and social duties.  When I'm feeling more serious, I use primes for wide to standard and macro, and zooms for telephoto work.  I find the flexibility of zooms far better for telephoto situations because you often can't change position and even if you can, you have to move too far to change composition significantly.  Horses for courses.

Cheers, Rod
