Why get a prime wide angle?

Hi everyone I'm an amateur so please tips and criticism would help. I'm wondering why you would need a prime wide angle lens? When shooting landscape I thought that you don't need large aperture and isn't that the main reason for a prime lens? If more light is needed then a tripod would surely fix the problem so again why a prime wide angle lens? A zoom sounds a lot more handy in this situation.

Primes is all about the quality.
And it's harder to get a better quality on the edge on a wide angle.
You can find tele zoom lens that're compatible with the primes, i believe, but you cannot find a wide angle zoom that compatible with wide angle prime lens.

I see so although the setting options may be the same the quality is still superior.. what do you mean edge on a wide angle? and what do you mean compatible are you saying as good as?

You don't have to use wide angle lens for landscape. Its application is limitless. I like wide-angle portrait, full body type, it's very interesting.
Large aperture wide angle works for night-street photography.

Plus there's no wide-angle zoom tilt shift lenses.

Usually a prime will give better quality at the edge of the image, while on wide zooms the edge will sometimes be a bit smudgy.

And compatible I think me means that you have a 16-35 lens as a zoom, and there are 24,28,35 primes.
The L versions will give superior image quality compared on the same length and aperture.
For example the 24 at F/2.8 will give much better quality than the 16-35 at 24 and wide open at F/2.8.

The primes in this way will allow a photographer to get the almost max image quality at wide open, which means more light and lower ISO compared to the zooms, where you have to stop down for better quality, and it means less light = higher ISO if you need to keep the same shutter speeds.

Thanks for clearing up

I use the TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II lens for landscapes nowadays. Mainly because it is super sharp all over. Sure, the Tilt and Shift can be fun to play around with or maybe create a panorama with 60+ MP, but the sharpness just blows you away. There is virtually no CA either. It is truly amazing. Sure, you don't always get exactly the right crop without a zoom and you have to move around more to find the right spot. But you also become less lazy and more meticulous when you compose because of this. There are ok zooms (I have the 16-35 II as well), but there are no zooms as good as the best primes.
