![]() Maybe find a used f2 lens with the 18-55 range that suits you and play around with it. But shoot a beautiful wide scene at 10 to 12mm and it can provide an awesome shot you wouldn't get with a more general purpose lens. If I pixel peep, its not that impressive. In my case, the 10-24 is the most extreme example. A virtual lighttable and darkroom for photographers. The compact zooms fulfill a need when you know you will be shooting with a variety of focal lengths or simply don't know what to prepare for and don't want to be constantly swapping lenses. darktable is an open source photography workflow application and raw developer. ![]() For me the bulky zooms, 16-55 and 50-140 don't fit the form factor I am after and I'm not going to lug them around so I don't have them. I haven't seen anything the disrupts that simplification. Darktable has two main workspaces: Lighttable and Darkroom. This is known as non-destructive editing. A big reason to use RAW and Darktable over JPEG and GIMP is that you can perform edits without making permanent changes to the original file. Its usually safe to assume that a compact zoom is going to have slightly lower IQ at the same focal length as a prime. Darktable is where you go to develop your digital photos. ![]() Also, while the 18mm1.4 prime is on there, the 18-55 is not and most people find the 16-80 to have equal or better detail than the 18-55. I also have the 10-24, 16-80, 55-200 and they are excellent lens as well. ![]() The only two I have on it are the 33f1.4 and 23f2 and they do produce sharp images. But I wouldn't take to much stock in "the list".
