The reason for "why" on 6 - 60 was in part "because they can". But also there is no need to keep playing around for 5x or 6x ratios. The High Master lens system allows for 10x ratios, so why would you go any less? With the current optical technology we shouldn't be messing around with anything less than 8X zoom ratios at this point. Which we are seeing from multiple manufacturers right now.
