Agreed, entirely. And it?s why the expensive ?cron won?t make a difference 
for most people.

And of course a fixed FL lens won?t effectively compete with a zoom until 
the sensor it images on has the pixel count that allows a 50%, 30%, 20% crop 
that gives the same FOV as a 50, 75, 120 mm zoom with nice detail.
