Should I sell my 17-55 DX for a prime?

Hey everyone,
I am finding myself using prime lenses more often than my zoom lenses. Or for example only using my 17-55mm DX at 17mm. I still use my 70-200 as a zoom lens. I primarily shoot NCAA football and news stories for my local paper (The Gainesville Sun). Does anyone recommend a good prime lens that is wide enough to use on a DX body to replace my 17-55? I will be upgrading to a D3 come first of the year and will then be shooting with a D3/D300 combo.

 

I thought about this for a long time. I ended up with the 35f2, the only place you might miss the 17-55 is the speed in the auto focus and the flexibility of zooming without having to move your feet. What you will not miss is the weight.

 

Thanks everyone,
I think I will keep it around until I go FX in January. For now (the rest of football season) I'll shoot with my 17-55 then when I move to the D3 I'll sell the 17-55mm. I have used the 14-24mm on a friends D3 and find it to be an amazing lens and will most likely consider it come January. Though I guess it is just a personal thing, but I seen to get much better photos when I use a prime or set my 17-55mm to 17mm and move myself. Maybe it is just me but the photos always "pop" more because the foreground is more separated from the background. I think I will definitely pick up a 50mm f/1.4G in December when it comes out and a few other primes. Who knows, it is a long road to the end of football season and we'll see where I end up come January. Thank you again for everyone's advice.
