So, an 18-200mm lens (range of 182mm) handles more situations than a 70-150mm lens (range of 80mm). If I had to pick one lens to use most of the time, I would go with the 18-200. At 18mm, the lens handles interior spaces and landscapes while at 200mm it zooms up to 4x my eye’s ability to see.
How do you stop a telephoto lens from creeping?
Simply take the Lens Band and stretch it over the lens. Position it on the ‘zoom ring’ when not in use. To ‘lock’ the lens, move half of the Lens Band over to the non moving part of the lens barrel. The friction of the band will be enough to prevent the lens shifting under its own weight.

What size zoom lens do I need?
If you want to fit more into your frame, you might want to look into wide-angle focal lengths: 14mm, 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm. On the other hand, if you want to get as close as possible to your subject, go for a telephoto lens with focal lengths that usually range from 50 to 100mm.
