Good but not great

Re: Good but not great

But why is a lens giving you the option not using the whole sensor surface in the first place? Especially if it's not covering the whole sensor at the wide end: Just DON NOT let a lens go to 22.whatevermm if it's specified to go to 24mm.

Yes, I totally agree, it is a waste of resolution.

A 24-70 or 24-105 and one prime 35/40/45/50mm.... wouldn't that be enough?

It depends on ones style of shooting of course. In my personal experience, 24-70 is enough for maybe 80% of my shots. 10% need something wider and another 10% need something longer, often significantly. These numbers come from analyzing my photo collection with ExposurePlot.
