I’m kind of curious about needing to go longer than the 230. For wildlife, sure, but in the “travel/landscape/architecture” categories I’d rarely find a need to go longer than 230. What scenarios do you find demand more reach?

Personally I use the 16-80 as my main landscape lens, accompanied by a budget ultra wide (either the Pergear 10/8 or the Samyang 12/2). There are times that I would like a bit more reach than 80, but not enough to sacrifice the 16 at the wide end for an 18.
