[QUOTE="aroy, post: 279074, member: 16090"] In general the wider the zoom range the more compromises in its design, hence worse the image quality. Price is a rough indicator of the quality, the lower the cost the more possibilities of bad image quality. To illustrate a point, my son bought the 70-300G. That is a 120 dollar lense and at 300mm it is soft and gives a lot of CA. Still he bought it as - It had 300mm - The next best lense having 300mm was five times as expensive. So if you want a lense to be able to take a shot as you travel and are not bothered about IQ, get a wide range zoom. If you are bothered about quality, then in the order of quality (and price) - Shorter range consumer zoom - Shorter range professional zoom - A set of slower primes to cover your focal lengths - A set of fast primes [/QUOTE]
