Except that 21-50 isn’t a standard zoom, it’s a wide zoom.
I thought it was “21-45”, which is only a bit wider than modern f/4 standard zooms and far shorter at the other end.
If you are not proposing that as a good quality standard zoom, where are the good standard Z-DX zooms, akin to the 17-55/2.8 DX, 16-80/2.8-4 DX or such?
