Loving the condensed pictures of a short tele has nothing to do with laziness, as long as you simply like the results. Others use UWA due to laziness since you get everything in a single frame.

However, using different FL may create a visual vocabulary you can use according to the expected results. Therefore, I have nowadays four lenses - UWA, WA, standard, short tele. And I begin to previsualize the frames more and more, starting with the expected perspective. Interestingly, it works even better for my videos - here, I start with a detailed scene plan including the FL before I am on location.

So, as an answer to your post, go on with the 60, but force yourself from time to time to use another FL. Just for exercising
