“For landscape, you often need a telephoto (I usually use the 135mm) so that you can rid of the uninteresting foreground. The depth of field of a telephoto lens in minimized for action pictures. I don’t work much with a wide-angle lens. There are so many things in the same plane that it makes it difficult to compose.”
