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.

The article didn't state that a particular zoom lens at a particular focal length could not be better than a particular prime of that focal length. My particular 16-50S is outstanding at 45mm, also; but it is still shy of being as good as my particular NX45mm.

I'm finding it very hard to agree

I have 2 copies of each and, as much as I love the 16-50 S, neither is as good at 45mm as either of the 45 1.8 primes. I'm confident in saying that, generally speaking, the 45 prime results in better IQ for the majority of users. It doesn't mean it's the right lens for everyone-IQ isn't everything.
