A big reason for a prime lens in this range seems to be the larger aperture for low light situations and the extra sharpness of a lens that does not have to accommodate zooming.
And the very low or zero distortion and the compact size and the bokeh..........

Yep, kinda makes you wish you could tote around 4- 6 primes everywhere you go and switch them out instantly. Well, maybe in a perfect world... LOL

I recently bought the Nikon 35mm 1.8 from Amazon. It was $216.00 and I got $30.00 off when I signed up for the Amazon rewards credit card. I love Amazon. Their customer service is outstanding.

I always understood that the 18-105 is a very good lens. Seems to me Tom is right. No need except for low light situations.

No kidding - remember my first zoom, man was I thrilled. Of course, some said they were not used by real photographers. So guess I have been an artificial photographer ever since.
