[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 741308, member: 10742"] There really is NO silver bullet when it comes to lenses... sorry... Looking for a lens that covers a wide-to-long focal length is sort of like sailing a boat... It's all about compromise... you never just aim the sailboat to get somewhere, you go back and forth slowly to eventually get there... the same with wide-long telephoto lenses... one feature that you want is always compromised by the lack of something else... If there were a solution, the lens makers would all have designed one lens back in the '50s and spent their time perfecting that one design... and we'd all be walking around with a 1 pound 5-1000mm F1 lens...:) [/QUOTE]
