Guest malland Posted July 10, 2007 Share #83 Posted July 10, 2007 Aaahh, thanks for the hint. I allways thought the more equipment I own the better my shots get. With this new insight I have to sell a lot of gear now. Hmmh, the pilot fish are beginning to gather: but, then, that's appropriate in view of the fish picture that I posted. —MItch/Potomac, MD http://www.flickr.com/photos/10268776@N00/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted July 10, 2007 Share #87 Posted July 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) When talking about fun time and camera gear, i come to the conclusion, that the best camera for a "Porsch" or similar small car is my tiny C-LUX2 (fun with "Porsch", snapshots with C-LUX2) http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/nature-wildlife/29021-daisy-guest-c-lux2.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hankg Posted July 10, 2007 Share #94 Posted July 10, 2007 And the point of this thread being....? My experience is that the proportion of good pictures shot is inversely proportional to the number of lenses one carries. Depends on the photographer. Some great photographers essentially used one lens others everything from 8x10 to 35mm. Personally, I hate having to many lenses and usually wind up with 2 plus a specialty lens. With the M8 it's the 28/2 and 50/1.4 with the 1Ds it was the 35/1.4 and 135/2. When I shot medium format film it was 3 lenses but on 3 different cameras. The wide on an Alpa, the normal -a Plaubel 670 and the 150/2.8 on a Hassy 203FE. There is no rule you can apply across the board to all photographers and I wouldn't make any judgment on a photographers skill based on the equipment he does or does not own. Because you limit yourself to a beat up old M3, a rigid summicron and wear sack cloth doesn't guarantee your pictures will look any better then the gearhead with 15 lenses and 4 bodies.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted July 10, 2007 Share #95 Posted July 10, 2007 Have to agree with Hank for me having different lenses is critical to get a shot specifically done for a client and the look they maybe after. Hell besides that i find each lens has it's own character also. So some maybe only use one lens and others many. Really does not matter as long as you get what your after is the bottom line. A nice exercise though is to pick one lens for a day and just shoot that for walking around or something, fun challenge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicaiste Posted July 10, 2007 Share #97 Posted July 10, 2007 So just for fun what lenses are sitting in the bag include you 30 voucher lens also and than pick your one favorite. Black M8 + Tri-Elmar 28/35/50 (had it coded) 24/2,8 Asph (had it coded) 28/2,8 Asph new 28/2 Asph (had it coded) 35/1,4 Asph (had it coded) 50/1,4 Asph (had it coded) 50/1 (58mm) hand coded 90/2 Apo (had it coded) 90/4 Macro (had it coded) All with UV/IR Waiting for the 30% 75/2 3 spare batteries Handle SF24D Minolta Colormeter IIIF Luigi half-case Billingham Hadley Pro ACAM-1000 Image Smith Domke F6 The MP is sleeping on the shelf. The Tri-Elmar 28/35/50 that I was trying to sell since years is 80% of the time on the M8 now. If I had to start from scratch (I started in 1984), I will buy first the M8 + Tri-Elmar 28/35/50 then, slowly, in that order: ;-) 50/1,4 Asph 24/2,8 Asph 35/1,4 Asph 75/2 Apo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmb_ Posted July 11, 2007 Share #98 Posted July 11, 2007 OK Here is you business case....LOL....i Roger, your description fits why I am considering the TTAI. Thanks. I like the fact that it has the lock so I was encouraged to hear that it worked out well for you. It may be a little big if I only bring the DMR and 3 or 4 lenses plus laptop but it would be good none-the-less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be a little big if I only bring the DMR and 3 or 4 lenses plus laptop but it would be good none-the-less.If I was only carrying the DMR and 3-4 lenses ..say the longest 180 . I would use my 2nd Billingham model 306 and put the MacBook in a neoprem sleeve . The macBook can then go in the outside of a standard rollbag. Once you pull out the DMR with a lens..the bag is light . It has a neat top that lets you keep it essentially unzipped..yet closed . Your other alternative is a tradition padded backpack..I have used the Kata 103....would take the DMR, 4 lenses and has a slot for the MacBook . Its great for transport very well protected..nice for car,boat or plane..but no fun when walking around shooting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmb_ Posted July 11, 2007 Share #100 Posted July 11, 2007 I use the Billingham 106 (the smallest one in that series) for walking around with the DMR. I can fit 3 lenses. The 180/2.8 fits nicely also. Not a lot of room in it but it has some nice features and it works out well for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
