I'm not unhappy or dissatisfied but …

I want a better lens. No, not just a more expensive one with a large aperture and the manufacturer's name emblazoned on it for show. I want a lens that I will fix to my camera and use all the time.

I'm fed up with having to swap lenses for different jobs. It means I have to carry more than one lens around and it means I risk dust on the sensor and physical damage to the lens each time I change to a different type. And I want the correct focal length range for my needs.

The one I had in mind is the 10 - 2000mm digital zoom. It hasn't been manufactured yet and I am sure it will cost the earth and weigh a tonne. But I want it.

I want to be able to take normal portraits one moment then, the next, zoom into that seagull on the cliff face a mile away. I want to able to shoot candids without anyone ever suspecting and I want to get close to the action at sporting

events even though I am sitting in the back row of the stadium.

But then I also want to produce fantastic wide angle landscapes and interior shots, and, more often than you think, go for a fisheye shot.

It would be nice if this lens would be light and with a maximum aperture of f2.8 but I am willing to compromise.

I'm not asking too much. Am I?
