If one has a (for ease of math) 33mm to 100 mm lens, that would be acceptable. If the total length the lens can run out to, say 33mm to 200mm, the amount of "telephoto-ness" would be too great for acceptable sharpness throughout the range of the lens.
Does that make more sense? I never know, I sound ok to me, but, well, it's me. :)
