To think of a telephoto Zoom solely as a sports or action lens is to limit one's "eye" and Photography. Here Is an example of a Zoom lens providing Proper framing (70mm), one that would be missed with an 85mm or a 135mm prime. And look, it has nothing to do with sports! TeleFoto is for landscapes, urban or rural, too.

Hi Abu, First let me say that I always enjoy reading your posts. I certainly am always trying to expand my "eye" to see shots that are not readily apparent, and while I think I am pretty good at it, am always learning. Without a doubt yours is an interesting shot, and 70mm looks to be about perfect from your vantage point. Please don't mis-understand that I think my tele zoom is only for sports - I have used it for many other things too. I just find that my interest and style are developing in such a way that sports is where i use my tele zoom the most, and therefore leave it home on most travels. I don't find shooting landscapes to be a primary area of interest for me ...

On this last trip, I took more lenses than I think I should have, but wanted to experiment with what I would use if I at least had them available to me, and the 35 became my primary lens, and the 28 a close second...
