I have just pushed the boat out and bought two new lenses for my Olympus OM-D camera. The one on the left is a 75-300 mm telephoto (for long shots) and the one on the right is a wide angle (To capture more horizontally).
I bought them – at vast expense! – to take with me next week on a trip to Berlin, where I will spend three whole days walking round the city, taking in the sights and probably taking hundreds of photos. I reckon that these two lenses – in addition to the prime lens on my camera – with give me plenty of opportunities to capture the historical, architectural and other wonders of this iconic city.
The question is, though, which do you think will prove to be more useful on this trip, which will not go beyond the city confines?
Which do you think I will use more? (Bearing in mind that many photos will use neither lens because the prime lens will be sufficient)
(I have also bought a new carrying case for the camera, lenses and spare batteries!)

Wide angle

Equal use

A lot depends on what type of photo you want to take…
I bet you will use telephoto more.
We shall see! I am looking forward to an interesting trip, and to posting some of the results on Virily after I get back.
I would say the one on the camera gets used the most!
Have fun in Berlin!
I don`t know much about nice cameras and lens, wish I did, I love taking photos
The good thing these days is that you don’t have to take your roll film to the chemist’s shop to be developed, then wait a week to discover that you got the focus wrong!
I choose wide which is great for cityscape but it is your choice depending on why you are going to shoot.
We shall see!
I have had had this choice in the past with previous cameras, although the telephoto lens I had was a lot more bulky and I tended not to use it much because it was a pain to keep switching it back and forth with the prime lens. My new lens looks to be much more convenient.
You should be able to use both. Have fun on your trip.
I would have no idea. Only you would know that.
I think you use it all. You can find many different objects that you will like.
