Ok this might seem like a strange question, but here goes. Faster glass by its very nature is normally a larger diameter. For example my 70-200 and 11-16 are 77mm. In fact that seems to be a standard for a lot of Nikon fast glass.
So why is my 35mm 1.8 lens only 55mm diameter? It is longer focal range than the 11-16 so that can't be it. Is it a zoom vs prime thing? Just curious.
