I use my telephoto a lot more because I take a great deal of my pics at concerts or parades. Also, when I'm taking shots of my grandkids, especially indoors, I don't want to be right on top of them and using the telephoto allows me to back it up or zoom in on their faces. When I'm indoors and sitting across the room from them, I find this also allows the flash to disperse better.
