Recently finished a trip. I had 3 lenses: 16mm, 24-85, and 70-300.
Took several hundred images, and I made a folder of my favorites- there were 36. Here is how the focal lengths broke down:
24mm - 12
85mm - 11
zoom (between 24 and 85) - 7
16mm - 6
In hindsight, if I owned and taken the following primes I would have the same shots, but arguably better IQ: 20, 50, 85.
I was quite surprised that I didn't have even one keepers with the 70-300 (though that is obviously subject dependent).
Was mildly surprised that 2/3 of my 'keepers' were at the extreme ends of the 24-85 zoom. (EDIT: broken down another way: 1/2 of the keepers were 24 or wider).
Do you find that there are focal lengths that you gravitate towards?
