If can summarize everybody's choice in a POLL isn't it the best? Its always difficult to read into details of each & every contributor... besides, different person have different budget on which model of lens to get. So I tot by category would be the most representative.


So, PLS VOTE to contribute DO NOT POST here for the details.

Why there is no "None of the above" option because I carry 1 x wide zoom & 1 x standard prime , how to vote?

[zac08]

Well, it depends on where and my mood...

How do you ask a query and not expect people to answer out of your poll options??

Simple: just vote under wide zoom & tele prime

When setting up the POLL, I'm thinking of as few option as possible in order not to be too confusing; I could have added my definitions...

POLL-option definition:
Tele: any focal length from 43mm FF-equivalent or longer.
Wide: any focal length from 43mm FF-equivalent or shorter.

[jpgutierrez18]

I voted wide zoom and tele prime:

Tokina 12-24mm F4 and Nikkor S-C 55mm F1.2

[skywalker28]

I travel extensively and my trusty 18-200VRII is attached to my D200 98% of the time.
The other lens I tag along for low light shooting is the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8.
Gonna get the Sigma 10-20 soon for landscape/building.

Then again, what you take along depends what you shoot

[2.8photography]

12-24 and my 18-200

covers almost anything except lacking a little in the super tele end

[ioriroger]

i took 2 cam how? becoz i dont hav time to change lens coz i travel wit tour mostly.

D80+30 f1.4(for low indoor & low light usage)
Lumix TZ2 (for better compensation, quick snap shot & short movie clip usage....)thinking of changing to TZ3.$$$.hehehe!

one hang on my neck,one in my pocket

Sorry, but I've been brought up since film.

Any lens 40mm or shorter is known as a wide lens.
Any lens above 40mm to around 70mm is known as a normal lens.
Any lens longer than 85mm is known as a telephoto lens.

I think that if you want to put in definitions, at least put in definitions that photographers are familiar with, not your own.

Hahha... precision not require in such a general POLL lah Besides, different manufacturer have slightly different way to categorize lenses!

Otherwise... the definition can be found here:

So by mathematics:

On a 135mm film which has a format size of 24mm x 36mm:
Diagonal = square-root of [(24mmx24mm)+(36mmx36mm)] = 43.27mm

On a 40D, the sensor size is 22.2mm x 14.8mm
Diagonal = square-root of [(22.2mmx22.2mm)+(14.8mmx14.8mm)] = 26.6mm

Both the above share the same angle-of-view of 52degree, though.

.....I do realize tat here in Nikon Camp; ppl tend to be more academic, or rather particular on the words/options I pick for the POLL.

Over at the Canon Camp; more of an easy-going atmosphere around this topic.....
