Ever since Photgraphy became my main hobby I have always longed for a 'proper' wide angle lens.
The thing that put me off was that I was wary of all my images looking the same...rock in front of epic view etc
So I purchased a 10-24 for my X-T3 and i really love using it - not too big, not too heavy, nice and sharp and I love the internal zoom. Before this I just tended to use a kit zoom 16-50 ish equivalent.
Well I've just got back from a 2 week Road trip in Scotland (with family so I had to fit the Photography arond them) and I've fallen into the trap I was trying to avoid - far too many boring, similar wide angle shots in poor light with poor composition !
This is despite telling myself to point the lens down and find some foreground interest. I seem to have some sort of FOMO if I am not using the 10-24 (like the next shot will be the one and I'll miss it if I'm using a narrower lens)
Its my most expensive lens and I think that may also subconsciously persuade me to the leave the lens more or less permanently attached to my camera....
So I figure I can't be the only one who has suffered with this ? Has anyone experienced similar and how did you solve your addiction to a wide angle lens ?!
cheers
