A question I have wanted to ask for a while. When I first bought my MXs 20 years + ago, the choice offered was simple; a camera body or a 50mm lens option (or whatever lens you wanted).
Sometime in between there came a change. I acquired the *ist D with the 18-35mm and realised I hadn't seen a prime option, other than the body or L**** M series range for years. Who drove the change from a prime to a zoom, customer demand, (professionals ?)or manufacturers? Can anyone point me at some reading/website on this? Thanks. Malcolm PS - Am I the only non mu 6x7 owner here?
