Recently, I’ve been pondering why is it that professionals swear by their constant 2.8 zooms and 1D/D3/D4 type full sized bricks, when lenses like the Canon 17-85mm f4-5.6 IS, Canon 24-105mm f4L IS, Tamron SP 70-300mm f4-5.6 Di VC USD are so capable.

Welcome to the Real World
Imagine this, it is Saigon, 29th April 1975, you are on the last Huey flight out of the city, why is that the Anti-Communist forces with their vastly superior equipment have been defeated? While the Viet Cong were equipped with relatively crude equipment, it was simple and reliable, and the epitome of this is the Kalashnikov rifle. The AK has been used since 1949 from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, and continues to be produced today; there is no single thing on this planet which has seen a similar longevity.
So why am I waffling on about guns and war?
