Heh, heh, our zoom plots really just show that zooms are extremely useful, picking primes makes life more restrictive.

There's room for both primes and zooms but best to have the right lens on hand at the time it's needed.

Or look at it this way:
You could replace a zoom with two primes and not miss a shot. In fact you'd have a faster lens at both ends AND probably get better optics. The Panasonic 14mm 2.5 is $214. The Olympus 45mm f/1.8 is $400. The Panasonic 14-50mm 2.8-3.5 is $821 - it's slower, more money, less macro.

What this tells me is the someone needs to put out a 200mm autofocus prime.
