Specifically the term "prime". I'm just getting back into serious photography after a very long hiatus... my last serious cameras were a Linhoff and a 'Blad, so a long time.
I'm delving into photography social media a bit and I've noticed that anything not a zoom is now called a prime. I always thought a prime lens was one that approximated the FOV of the human eye. Anything else was a telephoto, wide angle or zoom. I'm just curious when this changed, not that I'm surprised, most everything else has also changed.
