<<48% of all shots have been with the 75-300
Wow, an amazing statistic. Would have guessed >20% but not that high.
Well, only 30% over 200 mm, but then, that's 400 mm eq. :-)
Clearly 4 sd's above the mean for avg photog FL choice I would surmise, but
that is just fine.
It's a little misleading, in a way. I didn't count shots taken with my more casual cameras that never see the 75-300. So
that total doesn't include, for example, the shots taken at your anniversary dinner. It's mostly a distribution for
times when I'm out with two bodies, "taking pictures" Times when the 75-300 was an option. But those are a fairly large
majority of my total count.
Just for fun, I looked at macro. Somewhat different total set of images. And definition a little fuzzy. All shots taken
with the 12-50 @ 43 mm and all with the 60/2.8 Macro lens. Perfectly likely that there are quite a few taken in macro
mode or with the 60/2.8 that could just as easily have been taken in normal mode; there's overlap of focal ranges. And
there could be a handful that happen to have been taken @ 43 mm in normal mode.
Considering the uncertainties, I can only say that up to 30% could be macro shots, to some degree or other. I do use
macro a lot, but suspect the "real" number is somewhere closer to 20%.
Would certainly factor that in to new lens/ upgrade decisions.
Exactly why I have a PanaLeica 100-400 on pre-order. ;-)
I can always change my mind over the next 2-3 months. My biggest concern is what it would do to my two body, two lens,
minimal lens change model. The current gap from 50 to 75 mm is seldom a problem - and no, not because I never shoot in
that range. :-D Hmmm ... 11% of all shots with the 75-300 were @ 75 mm and 12% of 12-50 @ 50 mm. Obviously,
sneakerzoom and framing rethinking have been at work in that gap.
Third body with 75/1.8 on it? Yuck.
