These two quotes from a recent thread express very different ways to look for a shot, and it might be worth a poll, enriched w/ your comments, to explore the practical difference.
Is your way of getting the shot like one of these?
— Do the lenses in your bag determine where you walk for a composition (like Vaughn)?
— Or do you find the composition first, then determine if you have the lens that provides a satisfactory angle of view (like Bruce)?
Perhaps your personal approach is a hybrid form — or entirely different?
