No.. no.. I saw that but it makes no difference - it's still a zoom and therefore inferior because you have to think about zooming all the time. And since your zoom has a range of focal lengths from zero to infinity, that represents an infinite amount of focal-length anxiety.

How many times would you have to turn your zoom ring to reach infinity anyway?
