Well no, one of the benefits shooting with a 50mm prime lens is that is that they have an extremely low f-stop, f/1.4 , f/1.8 and even a f/1.2. Don't worry if this doesn't make that much sense to you right now but the main thing to remember is that a lower f-stop will add more light to your pictures and will allow you to pinpoint the subject with a smooth blurred background. This lens usually weighs less, It's easy to transport and if you need to shoot indoors or lack a bit of light lower the f-stop to the minimum and you will let more light into your shot.
