Rich, back in my film days, my widest FL was 28mm and longest was 200mm. I had (still have) a Teleplus 2x macro focussing TC that's superb optically and was very expensive when new in about 1985 - around AUD $850, a small fortune in those days!Well shoot, I have a Canon 15-85mm lens, which gives equiv 24-136 on my APS-C Canon 80D. It's slightly heavier than the 12-100 and has a lot less focal range. So that's what even APS-C gets you. So yeah, the 12-100 is a good size for its reach and supposed to be great IQ too (but both these lenses are too heavy for my taste, but that's just me...)
In those days, good quality lenses wider than 28mm EFL were a King's ransom.
So my 12-100 mFTs lens covers a greater EFL range than my native film lenses, and is far better optically. Add the 8-25 and 75-300, and I'm far better equipped than I have ever been.
