Depends where you live. Back home in Canada, I could usually move, since
it's so darned flat everywhere. However, in Japan, the only flat places are
tennis courts and school grounds... and I don't shoot there much :-)
I don't always have people in my wide angle shots, but when I do, moving
is not an option, cause the people also move, therefore shot is lost. I
think this is the true beauty of zooms - with people in the shot.
