Now you're just being a troll. That's what long focal-length lenses are
for. Why pay for all that sensor if you're not going to put it to good use?
Your argument is that of either a shoddy beginner or pure troll. It's
difficult to say which.

This is the same kind of argument that's used by base beginners who pride
themselves on their burst shooting rates. If they just take enough images
there might be something worth seeing in one of them one day. If you just
capture enough of a wide-angle image you can hunt around in your images and
find something to crop out of it at a 640x480 resolution some day. If you
always shoot with an 18mm lens at high-speed burst rates so you can spend
days hunting through your wastes of frames for something worth cropping out
of them then you must be a talented photographer.

Go read some books on the basics of photography. You're in dire need.
