Help me ! I'm addicted to primes!

You dun really have to buy the expensive primes to see the improvements, I have a 24mm f2.8 for a while on a 8mp cropped camera, I couldn't really appreciate the sharpness of the prime until recently when I got hold of a 5D mk2. My gf loves to shoot on primes and she find auto-focus a hassle, so she usually switch it off.

Yeah definitely 2 of the major plus points. Together with sharpness, light weight, low profile, inexpensive (not all)..
Wow but this is turning out to be a real gathering of prime advocates huh ! With such support, I wonder what's the biggest argument for zooms ?
My prime is not inexpensive let, in fact it's the most expensive lens I have.
Zoom wise, should be the flexibility.

Speed is definitely one of the plus points of prime. In addition, I like them for their lighter weights and sizes.

Thanks for pointing out. The Nikon 14mm f/2.8D is big and heavy lens.

Oops... I forgot to add in L..... how bad can it get.. haha
With that alphabet, makes a lot difference! haha....
You could consider using a decent to good general zoom (according to your budget) + a good prime of your choice (according to your style). Best of both words.
Image quality is really nice, but the same level of IQ may not shine in every picture. Sometimes its just not so necessary, especially in situations you can or must stop down, most lenses will catch up by F4 or F5.6
