I’m talking about landscapes specifically. It feels like with wide angle compositions, you just get up close to your foreground interest - you might want to include a bit more or less background in; but with a telephoto landscape the composition is more dependent on the focal length (your subject is generally further away with telephoto landscapes and so more difficult to ‘zoom with your feet’.
For more context I’m asking the question because I chose a telephoto zoom lens over a prime (with help from advice on this forum) as I thought conpositional flexibility was more important than image quality; but I feel I could get away with a prime wide angle. I like the idea of primes for their better quality, cost, speed and lightness.
Obviously a £1500 fast wide angle zoom would be ideal but that’s not an option!
Any thoughts?
