The overall impression I get from the "Panasonic G1 ... example photo @ ISO 1000" discussion is that many photographers aspire to wider and yet wider fields of view.
But lately I've observed that my best photographs mostly have normal to narrow fields of view. As tempting as it is to put on a wide lens and capture the whole scene, I've been striving to exercise some self discipline and choose the longest focal length that works. Sometimes I even try to use a longer lens than is comfortable, and select that small part of the scene that tells the story. A tele shot seems to have a cleanness and tightness that distils and concentrates a story. Wide shots can often capture objects unrelated to the subject that will dilute a story(expansive landscapes excepted). In a nutshell - I tend to desire wide-angle lenses, but I'm better off using normal or long lenses.
