Zoom lenses vs normal lenses for 35mm SLRs cautionary note
Consumers Union and Consumer Reports tested 16 zoom lenses and found normal 50mm lenses often superior for most users. Zooms offered versatility but suffered from flare, chromatic aberration, slower apertures, bulk, and weight. For many buyers, start with a normal lens and add zooms later, though the Minolta Rokker XMD 35–70mm offers a balanced compromise with noted prices.
