[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 505408, member: 13090"] A couple of thought's on this... I carry a 70-200mm on my FX body pretty much all the time and with regularity on my DX body, because it's an amazingly versatile lens. Many times I wind up shooting in places an hour ago I had no idea I'd be shooting in and carrying a single lens is just really too convenient for me to move away from. Also, a big zoom gives me compression I can't get with shorter focal lengths. I do agree that many people, "just like to show off their biggest and most expensive lenses"; absolutely. There's a certain ego-factor in all of this and it's not limited to photography; that's just human nature. Many people also believe they can buy their way into excellent photography, bypassing all the effort required that most of us around here know lead to good photography. Things like understanding composition and how to control exposure. I believe the current term for these people is, "Poser". Personally I have no time for such nonsense. Light changes quickly and when I'm shooting, I like to find my "zone" and stay there as much as possible, we can chat later... AFTER I get the shot. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
