I am wondering though, how good are these Superzooms? I bought a Tokina 24-200mm Lens for Dani and I have borrowed in on occasion (in Peru on the Andean Explorer where I needed to act quickly and zoom throug a wide range. Otherwise I believe anything above 3x zoom may be less then ideal. In fact one of the best and cheapest Lenses I have is my Canon 50mm f/1.8 Lens that I picked up really cheap. A prime lens is actually the best you can do from a performance standpoint. Optimizing a lens for a wide range is pretty hard and the wider the range, the more compromises have to be made. On the downside I find myself swapping lenses in the field quite often.
