Hola,

Hope all is well with everyone .... As nice as the wide lens can be for dramatic landscapes there is a lot to be said for using those zooms ... Just wondering what everyone's go to zoom focal length would be .... I always forget (when using my Canon body) how much I like the 24-105 length .... And of course the 70-200 for picking up details in forests or in the hills ..

I'm actually looking for a zoom lens for the Fuji .. they have a couple which have perked my interest, which given how often we clamour for fast lens, may be an interesting choice (18-135 for example) .. potentially a very good partner for my 10-24

Anyone happen to have used the 18-135?

Cheers,

Nige
 
I just use primes and most of my work is 28mm or 90mm. I also have a 50 which I use for maybe 10% of my landscapes when I need something in the middle. I don't see the need to go wider than 28mm as the exaggerated perspective tends to look a bit unnatural in my view. 90mm is good for picking out details. Sometimes I miss the longer end but I'm a bit stuffed with my Leica :-).
 
I use 17-40, 24-70 and 120-300 on FF. The 17-40 is my most used by quite a margin, although I'm trying to use it less so I don't get stuck in that rut of shooting nothing but wide angles. Lately I've been using a 80mm and 127mm prime lenses (50mm and 70mm-ish? on FF) and have been finding that it's helped me to see alternative scenes a lot.
