Despite the superior quality of the Summarit 40/2.4 lens of the Minilux, most buyers opt for the more expensive Minilux Zoom despite its much slower lens of 35-70/3.5-6.7. For most consumers, the extra US$100 of the Zoom model is well worth it. Most buyers of P & S cameras expect to get a zoom lens rather than a prime lens. My export records show the Minilux Zoom outsells the non-zoom Minilux by over 10:1. I wonder if the situation is the same in the US?
