Work with you 50mm and switch between it and the zoom. I suspect that you'll notice better IQ with the 50mm when you look at 100%. My walk-around lens is a 24-105mm f/4 IS, which has excellent IQ. I own a 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake lens, but almost never use it because it's too limiting. I use it when I'm shooting Milkyway shots and need a larger aperture.

Well that is my understanding that the prime would give a better IQ over the zoom lens...

On the other thread people are suggesting a 35mm f 1.8 http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1172520
Perhaps I should get the 35mm instead?
