That is interesting, my 24/2.8 was my most used lens before I got my
35-80/2.8. Now it is the second most used. Galen Rowell, when he was
still using mostly single focal lengths said his N**** 24/2.8 was his most
used lens. I wonder whether the difference is geographic with mountains
and desert calling for wide angles and comparatively featureless, flat
expanses calling for macros and telephotos.

"Flat" you find more rarely than you would think when you start to examine
it, and "featureless" is not the word I would use, since there wouldn't be
any point in photographing what is featureless, but I certainly agree with
you other than the choice of words. Where the dimensions are high rather
than deep as they often are in the American West, the wides are really
useful. Shooting in Iowa there have been whole sessions in which I never
mounted a lens other than the 85-250/5.
That could be me though. I try to use the longest lens I can wherever I am.
