It's normal, that's why I'm planning to sell my 70-200mm.
Neglecting my zooms...

I felt the same way when I bought my first prime. It was just soooo fun to use it, and gave you a good workout

I love the pictures I get with all my zooms and the 70-200mm 2.8 is second to nothing IMO, but for some reason I really like using the primes and they are a lot lighter than the 3.2 lbs 70-200mm 2.8 IS lens...

Check out this article for a comparison of the nikon 70-200 VI, VII, and 200 f/2. Kind of interesting. The 70-200 VII comes very close to the 200 f/2 @200mm. |

There's a different time and place for everything

I carry my D3/400 in a monopod with a full gimbal (about 16 lbs total) for sports and wildlife so the "little" zooms seem like nothing to me. I guess it's all a matter of perspective.
I do have a favorite prime though. It's my 85mm f/1.4.
