I think we have found the poster boy for the LBA helpline poster.
Not really. At least one member here admittedly has more Fifty's than I have lenses, total. A couple people on various forums say they have 10x my count. I'm just a piker.
Meanwhile, I'm spending a few days around the ski ghetto of Park City UT, site of the 2002 Winter Olympics and just around the corner from Sundance. (Cheap off-season rates, you-betcha!) I tried my standard small-town primes (24/2, 28/2, 35/2, 50/1.2, 85/2) but I had to revert to my DA18-250. Indoors and out, in-town and out in the alpine scenery, at Sundance and BridalVeil Falls and elsewhere, only the superzoom had the flexibility to capture people & places & things to my satisfaction.
This is what zooms are good for: dynamic situations. Tomorrow I'll be at the town's Sunday community market, a much more static scenario, and the MacroTak 50/4 should do wonders. Different tools or different jobs, eh?
