Interesting article. And here is me thinking that my 1650S is better or at least as good as 45 prime! I seriously haven't touched any prime lens since I bought the S lens. So according to that article, there is no way a a zoom lens can be better or as good as a prime lens.

That isn't how I would interpret those findings.  What I saw is that when looking at the very best of zooms and primes that the primes will be better (slightly) and are more consistent (perhaps the more important part here).  It doesn't apply so much when we start comparing a pricey pro zoom with a budget prime designed to be small.   Now just give me a moment to compare my 50mm Otus to the long end of my 16-50 S.  They are closer in price after all.  ;P

I'm finding it very hard to agree
