There are certainly a lot of great WA vistas in Yosemite. There are also some fascinating 'distant vistas' up on the walls that require a long lens. Although most of my shots were in the 35-105 range, 200mm was useful and I got one shot I love with 300mm. Next time, I'm taking something even longer, and maybe the 18mm as well. It was late winter, with a dusting of snow while we were there, so the air was clear when the clouds cleared.

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.
