That depends on how rapidly those shots have to be made in order to get
the story. When the airship is burning or the towers are falling it's
more important to get _something_ than to miss the shot while you're
getting the settings perfect.

Tell us again how long it takes you to swap lenses in order to even get
that photo in the first place. Ooops, another missed shot! If it wasn't
already ruined by sensor dust anyway. Oh well, you're probably used to all
those drawbacks by now.
