Some situations might ask for something else, but that you find out by using the lenses and see where you miss something.I confirm from the messages above you need to try out on the same subject and see the difference. Not only try from the same position, but change the position and try to get about the same view on the main subject with different focal lengths. You should not see a 200mm as only for far away or 18 mm only for landscapes or rooms.The 18mm can be used very close for details, you will have more context around it using it.The 200mm can be used at the shortest focus to have a subject with not a lot of context, narrow field.There is no perfect way to do it, it depends on your style and the way you want the picture to come out.So the point would be to know what your lens can do and use it in a way people do not expect it. This to come with the picture that amazes everyone and makes them ask how you got that scene so perfectly.An alternative is that you fix in the middle 55mm for a day (say min 50 different pictures) and try to take things from close and far from different angles. This limit will make you understand what you miss not having the other lengths. You need to come to a point where you know why you want a large or narrow angle picture.N.B.: I also still have to work on this, maybe it is a permanent learning curve since every subject can be a discovery.</blockquote>
