I use zooms only for convenience where speed of composition and shooting is important. Completely agree, if I can shoot with a 50mm prime I will.

My best photos were all taken with a Rolleiflex TLR. A fixed 75mm lens, and no auto anything. I had to think about composition and exposure on every shot, and with only 12 shots on a roll, I had to make every one count. I switched to a digital SLR with two zooms, and all that automation made me lazy. I recently bought an older manual 85mm lens which shuts off all of my camera's automation, and things are looking better already. I totally agree about the ‘lazy’ factor.
