Did you know that there’s an entire genre of lenses that are designed to cover basically every focal length you could possibly need? They start wide, usually 24mm or 28mm, and go all the way past telephoto, often to 200mm and beyond. They’re called superzooms, or all-in-one lenses.
So why isn’t everyone using these highly versatile lenses? Well, historically they’ve been terrible. Sony’s FE 24-240mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS lens is notoriously soft and slow, but other superzoom lenses made in the 2010s and more recently are actually very good.
