Min focus distance is an annoying aspect of many lenses - for me, it's not a constant annoyance, but only an occasional frustration, but sometimes - depending on the situation, of course - a l-o-n-g minimum focusing distance can rear its ugly head and "bite ya" - <g>. > It's primes for now then. It's almost always "safer" to use a prime, when you can, I guess. Still (in my humble opinion), zooms can have their place... Fred
