Superzoom lenses often get a bad rep in professional circles. Compared to primes, they’re routinely accused of being compromised with slower apertures, softer corners, bulkier build –but the appeal of a single lens capable of covering everything from mid-tele to full reach is hard to ignore, especially for wildlife, travel or sports shooters.
