    Are you Wide Angle? Normal? Tele?

    What's your style?

    What proportion of your LF or ULF photographs are Wide Angle?
    How many are "normal" (focal length same as film diagonal)?
    What about "long" and/or telephoto photo's?

    I suppose it somewhat depends on what kind of subjects you "focus" on...

    If it's landscapes do you prefer wide? normal? Tele?
    If it's portraits, do you reach for the long lens first?
    If you crawl around on your hands and knees, is it the wide or "normal" lens?

    Are you a bit of a magpie, and carry five or six focal lengths "just in case"?

    (I fell victim to the siren call of ULF 8x20, and carried everything from super wide 210 mm, to a long tele 1200 mm before my bones stared to complain).

    I'm not looking for advise, just interested in what others prefer...
