That is the % of the people that voted and voted for that category. That's why the total isn't going to add up to 100%. For example, 1 person may voted for to categories and another may voted for 10 categories.

At the moment I'm in a bit of a State of Flux, Started of with 16-45 DA & 80-200 DA on a K20D
Bought the 18-250 DA and sold the others. Then got blown away when I purchased a K 200 f4 prime lens and was never quite happy with the quality of image with the 18-250 after that. So I started to get a collection of old smc prime lenses, M20mm f4 A28mm 2.8 A50mm 1.7 M 100mm 2.8 A 135mm 2.8 K200mm f4.
Carrying this lot around was getting a bit like hard work so I started to read these forums and found what good reports the 12-24 DA gets, Bought one from British Bargains and was delighted with it so sold the 20mm 28mm and the 18-250 plus a couple I had got from a Carboot A50mm M200mm, and ordered a 50-135* from British Bargains, which I hope will arrive tomorrow.

Primes are better. But I can pull amazing things like all of a schematic seeing the pixels on the original laser inside a motor panel in a desert up using a 15-55 DAII Zoom. The 50mm FA Macro does twice as good with amazing depth. I will not buy a 18-250mm just too many compromises. The 28-200FA Pentax that appears to be better than the DA's. Saving my pennies for a 16-45 F2.8. The Zooms are really convenient for framing. The old glass is better for the money.

IT is actually f4 otherwise I'd have it.

I wasn't sure if the old film cameras I own (50's folders & rangefinders) were to be included in the film point & shoot category. As I saw no other place where they might belong, I included them there.
