Pray, do not be insulting:  whyever would ANY photographer of quality wish
to use a zoom lens?  This sort of trash is for the P&S crew and not for
serious photographers.  (And, yes, my digital P&S has a zoom lens but I
hardly regard that camera as a statement for high-quality photography.)

However, there ARE zoom lenses which can be fitted to RF cameras though
they are not common.  (Any M42 zoom can certaily be fitted to a Lecia body,
for instance, though this would require zone focussing.)

I am no fan of anything wider than 50mm as this is the realm of that In
Your Face Photography style I really detest. However, when I wish to make a
wideangle shot, I generally use the 4.5/21 Zeiss Biogon with its finder.
DOF is really not a problem.  In the alternative, I can use my 5.6/20
Russar MR-2.
