FOR FULL-FRAME (FX) USERS ONLY*

If you own a 70-200 or similar lens (such as a 70-300) and use it on a full-frame (FX) body, what do you use it for? I don't own one but, as an example, I'll post my rough 100-400 breakdown:

  • Landscapes: 50%
  • Birds: 20%
  • Other wildlife (mostly mammals and reptiles): 10%
  • Close-up details of arcitecture, bridges, ruins, machinery, etc. 10%
  • All other uses: 10%


In other words, if I use the 100-400, I mostly use it for landscapes, followed by birds (in situations where the 500/4 is not suitable), and a few other things. I quite often think about a 70-200 or 70-300, but I have no idea what I'd actually use it for. (Which is why I have not got one!) But 70-200 is a very popular length to have in the kit and I'm curious: people like that length, so ythey must use it for particular tasks, what do you use yours for?

* For current puropses, let's count APS-H (1.3 crop) as full-frame. I'll post a similar thread for APS-C (DX) users shortly.
