A prime lens means a single focal length, not a zoom lens.

I thought a prime lens was aged between 40 and 60.

Hmmm. I thought a prime lens meant, the main lens you would put on your camera and use the most in the area of photography you love to shoot. ie; It would be the main lens you use as a portrait artist. Your prime portrait lens.

A prime lens need a squirt of gas before you get it started.
