Having dropped by Yosemite NP a few weeks ago to see the sights and by the way 
snap a few photos, the second thing I noticed after the awful air quality in 
the main valley was that all of the "serious" camera people were shooting with 
200mm+ zooms on their cameras.  What up with that?  If there's anyplace on the 
planet that cries out for prime lens shooting with a 28mm or wider, it's 
Yosemite.  I didn't bring my wide adaptor to screw onto the C2500 so I am 
going to have to do a bit of stitching, just to be able to show some of the 
amazing vistas.

Of course for photos, Winter is a much better time of year, if only for the 
better air quality.  This reflected in the shooters as well, with the view 
camera crowd being in evidence at the prime viewing sites.
