Makes sense. Shots are distributed evenly over all focal lenghts. For any given lengths the shots you would have taken at a shorter or longer focal length than the zoom can cover will accumulate at the ends. Looking at Charles' LR graph his 16-50 is too short approx. 17% of the time (this takes into account the shots taken at 50 mm when 50 mm wasn't too short) and too long approx. 35% of the time (again corrected for shots at desired FL). Adobe has given us a nice way of proving to our SOs that you can never carry (or perhaps have??) too many lenses... Cheers Ecke
