I absolutely agree with Giles, except for two things: Straight lines and
size/weight. The 35-80 doesn't do so hot in keeping straight lines straight
and the size/weight is definitely noticed when the camera is hanging from
your neck. Otherwise, yes, it's a one-lens solution--and among the best
"people lenses" I've ever used.
