I'm surprised more camera/lens makers don't have a 24-120, and m43 has a premium and economy version. Then again, I remember getting into a debate with a photographer years ago who thought 24-120 was a useless lens. It's amazing how many photographers can't see beyond their own preferences.

The attraction to multiple focal lengths all in one lens gets us all excited but of course there are limits. I seriously think the 24-120 is just about at the edges of the limit, mine has superb IQ at both ends (yeh, if you pixel peep then primes are better but youd need several to cover that range.) I have always loved focal lengths between 20/24- 100/135 so this lens really does hit the button for me. Don`t get me wrong, if the IQ wasn`t top notch then it wouldn`t ring all the bells and I would rather change lenses when required but luckily it does the job nicely. In fact, without going back over years of images I think this zoom is as good as my best ever owned and better than 90% of them.

Thanks for your reply

Dave
