Weight Of Lens

In case of zoom lens weight of prime lens is comparatively very low. Its very easy to carry in your camera bag. Its is too compatible with all camera models and lens in size also.

Aperture Value 

The main argument by the prime lens lovers are the high speed aperture speed. Its aperture down to the value up-to f/1.2 and zoom lens value up-to f/2.8.
Canon 50mm f/1.2 ( INR - 1,05,000INR apx) One of the best lens from Canon for prime lens lovers.

Its very less in size and built in very cheap quality so the price is also affordable when we compare to the zoom lens.
