Then I politely suggest that YOU are likely limiting yourself to compositions that would work well with that narrow range of EFL. That's fine. It doesn't mean that others wouldn't appreciate a greater degree of flexibility. After all, that's the primary reason for interchangeable lens and zooms. If I read you correctly, the camera you're using has interchangeable lenses. It therefore affords you the ability to change focal length if you desired. That's far different than being stuck with just one focal length. Again, for some that may be fine, but I prefer to not be constrained by a fixed focal length camera.
