[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 63511, member: 4399"] Because it's shorter. Optics closer to the sensor capture a wider angle of light, so the front element does not need to be as wide. Zooms are longer to allow for the internal movement of the optics, so they require a wider front element to capture the same amount of light as a prime. [/QUOTE]
