Poor Marcelle.

Zooms make me lazy, especially at the wide to short telephoto range. I'd much rather use 20mm, 50mm and 85mm primes with a single long zoom than have just two zooms. Currently I have the Sigma EX 10-20mm to give me wide-angle on the D70s (effectively 15-30mm) but I don't enjoy it. Maybe if I tape up the zoom ring so it is effectively a fixed 20mm equiv ...

I prefer my prime lenses.  I rarely use the zoom ones.  I do make use of the wide angle lens a fair bit but tend to do landscape with it in conjunction with the filters.  Going to full wide angle sees the filters appear at the edges so I stick to a very narrow range with that one.

I still find it hard to go out with only ones lens and hate having to change too often so it does discipline me into roughly planning the shots I want to get.
