[QUOTE="Disorderly, post: 79248, member: 10297"] It's an important point. One aspect of [i]what you hope to accomplish[/i] is the resolution of the final result. If all you want is web size or even printed output at moderate size, a lens like this may be fine, at least after you've done some cleanup of the images. I submit a lot of images to microstock agencies for resale. They're pixel peepers who look at every image at 100%. Faults that may not show up at web size will be glaring problems at full resolution. So for me it's worth using a set of constant aperture zooms and a few select primes. A superzoom would be a waste of money for me, since every shot I take is a candidate for my stock portfolio.
