Please come to Bisbee Arizona -- [
http://bisbee.klaxo.net ] -- a quaint steep mile-high mining town on the Sonora border where 40% of the houses are on stairways, not streets, and more than a few "two-way" roads may allow for passing mules or mopeds, but not autos. Bisbee, and even more vertiginous Jerome Arizona or Taxco Guerrero, are much like some Italian hill towns I've seen, and are certainly good test-beds for photo gear.
And what lenses do I use to shoot Bisbee or Jerome, etc? In daytime: DA10-17, DA18-250, F35-70 with a Kenko 180 Degree full-circle fisheye adapter, Macro-Takumar 50/4 (1:1), Lil'Bigma 170-500, etc. (When I return in a couple months, I'll put my new Tammy 10-24 to good use, I hope.) In dusk and dark: fast primes. The (ultra)wides are for grabbing contexts. The (ultra)longs are for picking details, and stacking subjects and backgrounds.
Everything is needed. Leave no lens behind.
