What to carry by default.

There's only so much room in the camera bag. In mine I have a Tamron SP90 2.5 for macro shots (with tube for 1:1) A Sigma 10-20 4-5.6 A Tamron 180-300 4-5.6 kit lens (takes good landscapes) A Samyang 85 1.4 (It's just so cute) A Takumar SMC 55 1.8 A Vivitar 35 2.8 A Sigma DG 120-400 4.5-5.6 in a separate bag. And I have a Helios 44M-4 58 2.0 in a drawer. I regularly do comparisons between the Tak, Helios and Vivitar and can never decide which is the best to carry as a "GP". The Vivitar has a wider angle without visible barreling, but then I can use the Sigma WA for most of the same stuff (although that does distort badly). Horses for courses and all that, I know, but for someone with limited ability and also limited appreciation like me, it's always a problem. I just like to grab the bag and throw it in the car without having to first decide what's the best lens to take. Ok, just thinking out loud really, but I'd appreciate an opinion or 2. For minimum: APS-C: I used to carry: 18-200 mm zoom (or slightly longer). Tamron 10-24 mm wide angle zoom. Weight 726 + 431 g = 1157 g MFT: I now carry: 14-140 mm Panasonic zoom, Olympus 9-18 mm zoom. Weight 426 + 240 g = 666 g I can also easily find room for the 9mm fish-eye at 82 g. The MFT typically includes lens corrections so one less thing to worry about. I no longer run a car, so it's hand carried. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |
