I'm wondering how many others out there categorize their shooting styles/lenses??
I just sold my 70-300 D to a friend, and now suddenly find myself contemplating the 70-300VR.
I can just hear the discussion with hubby "Why do you need that?? You have the 80-200 AND a 300mm lens. That would be redundant!"
I almost feel a need for 2 sets of lenses.......
a) The "we're going on a family day trip, would like pictures, but don't want the weight/tripod" set
and
b) The "I'm going out to capture subject ABC and I need lenses of XYZ speed/length" set.
Am I being silly?
I keep thinking of things like trips to the zoo, or shooting a sports game if I'm alone with a 2nd younger child tagging along......it would be nice to have VR lenses (18-200, 70-300) that I can just use, "record the shots" and not be focusing on proper technique, tripod use, etc. Events where needing to keep an eye on one child precludes absolute focus on photography.
Do others do this with their lenses/shooting?
