I've gone ultra wide now and have learned to love it my main lens being a
12-24mm translating to 18-35mm.

I'm often shooting very fast at the widest and then cropping like crazy when
I'm Photoshopping. That with RAW and It's like the picture is being taken at
night in the O dark AM when I am hunched over my laptop crunching my pix
from the day before.

The decisive moment I think more and more...
Comes later when looking at ones "contact sheets".



But It's like shooting squares which later have to be cropped into
rectangles.
