Thanks again.
Unfortunately life is full of compromises. A zoom generally will not have quality of prime (fixed) lens at whatever focal length whereas a prime may have better image quality but is not a flexible/versatile. I think in real life terms a zoom may be better all round but it depends what the lens is intended for.
