>>173192 There's a small image quality advantage, but it's small compared to good zooms. And speed, as Warren said.
The real reason to use primes, though, unless you need the speed, is the one outlined in this article:

Also, personally, I find it awkward to shoot with a lens where I don't know exactly where it will be, because I don't keep the camera glued to my face when I'm shooting; I'm more of the watch-the-scene-and-wait-for-the-picture type. I'm sure people who prefer working the other way dig zooms more than I do.
The only "image quality" that really matters is subjective, i.e. how well the look the lens produces jives with the work one does.
