Primes also have shortcomings, even though they are sharper etc.
Zooms fill the frame more often and avoid losses from cropping.
Just try a moon shot with an 85mm Zeiss and crop the moon to 200mm immage.
I was thinking more of the maximum aperture and speed of use, rather than the reach.
I got the impression that Graham's 80-400 was 'falling short' due to max aperture limitations and speed of focus as well as reach....hence buying the 500mm prime.
