do you suffer from focal length creep?
#1

When I started more seriously with photography, I thought the wider the better. In fact when I bought 70-300, I wondered whether I will ever get enough use of it to justify $ 600 it cost me. Now I find it hard to take a photo with any other lens. Even when I try to go back and shoot wider, I find it hard. I have been trying on these holidays to make a big use of the kit (18-70), but most of my shots with this lens seem to be at 70 and I keep on wishing to put the 70 -300 back on. I find it harder and harder to take your usual landscapes and my 11-16 has been sleeping entirely on this trip. Is this a "normal" progression towards simplification, is it a change of style or am I loosing the capability to think wide?
