There are situations when zooming with foot is not always possible, also bear in mind the perpective 'de-compresion'. So that is not a valid argument, if it really was, than all we need would be one fast 50mm lens or so.
It is not that hard to admit that in Nikon land there is more options for good glass. Then in Pentax land there are beautifully crafted Limiteds, in Canon land they shine with Canon L lenses. Everybody chooses what suits him, no need for brand wars. I see it that Pentax offers quite a lot for a price....that's the reason I picked it up. I'm not going to argue with Canon guys that my 77limited will destroy their Canon 85 1.2, because that would be ridiculous. But still my Canon friends show some respect to 77 limited and really like it's compactness and the way it is crafted. As an example.....
So if Nikon guys are saying they have more choices with Nikkors, they are not lying. On the other hand how much lenses one really needs?
