FAQ: What are the main advantages and disadvantages of a zoom lens?

A: Zoom lenses offer a much more versatile option than a fixed focus lens providing you with a range of focal lengths. Using a zoom lens allows you to quickly frame a shot and experiment with different options of the same scene without physically needing to move either away from, or closer to your subject. The main disadvantages of choosing a zoom lens tend to be cost and size. A zoom lens typically requires more glass elements than a fixed focus lens which pushes up size, weight and cost.
