While all zooms are optical compromises versus lenses of prime focal length, this one has made some impressive images under some challenging circumstances. >> Your point about zoom lenses is well taken. While I prefer fixed focal length lenses for most situations, some zooms are quite good. I don't have this lens, but I can say that at least one Canon (28-70 L) and some of the Zeiss Contax zooms (eg. 37-70; 28-85; 35-135; 100-300) perform very, very well). Tom Shea
