The best photos don't depend on just the lens. There are so many other factors . It is ridiculous to make a blanket statement like this..
I think I've also touched on this. She shoots with a D5 which allows her to shoot at high speed, wide aperture, and high ISO. Much more so than you could do with an 850. This camera combined with the best lenses that Nikon has to offer in the hands of a highly skilled photographer will yield the highest level of photo.

An ongoing sell-job exists on the premise that a prime lens may achieve unmatched results in image quality and background blur. This premise once did carry weight. But for practical purposes, modern zoom lenses have become capable enough in these two aspects to render prime lenses obsolescent.

Final question. If zooms are as good as primes, why do they even make primes anymore?

Now I know you know not whereof you speak. There's a reason an f2 would outperform an f4 or f5.6 in bokeh. No matter how sharp a zoom might be (Nikon's 180-400), it still can't match a prime in the bokeh department.
Thimk about it.

Does bokeh make a great picture (all pictures) it might help in an instant you come across. I see NO any thing we have talked about is true in all cases. A great pictures come from a person with an eye or by accident with a lucky shot.

No need for me to think about it. I grant the background blur function of a prime lens as outdoing that of a zoom lens. That said, I note that nowadays photo software can achieve the same result, obviating a prime lens.
Besides, if a prime lens becomes desired for a shoot, then the photographer can rent one. Spending a boatload of cash on a prime lens becomes harder to justify.

Very sharp. I will agree with you that if you can afford the 400 2.8 you should get it . The new one is lighter and my friend who is a professional has one. She does beautiful work with the R5.
