That's not how it works for everybody. One doesn't always need to have the full range with him. Not even all standard discrete steps. I have 22mm prime, 50mm prime, and outside of these focal lenghts I use zoom lenses, while in that range i manage to move myself or crop, or both. These two lenses cost me about &320.
I don't even carry all these at once, so it is not even bigger, not even heavier, not more expensive, and it has the edge in tbe working range I have chosen.
That's why there is so many lenses and no lens is the best. The same as no food is the best.
I eat spaghetti lot. How about you?

yes i agree with you.. i think i say that that some of the cheaper lenses give it a run for its money
