So I have a few fun things on the go: a trip to Ireland, some trail running and mountain biking video projects and a general love of outdoor photography and video work.
I'm picking up one or both of the LowePro Sport packs, showcased here:
Lowepro | Photo Sport Series
The real question is what to do about lenses for my K5.
I have bee relying on my collection of old SMC Takumars: 17 fisheye, 35/2, 50/1.4, 85/1.8, 120/2.8 and 300/4. For a work project (not aesthetically driven) I added a 18-55 WR kit lens and the DA-L 55-300. Those sport packs can only really hold two lenses and the body...and that's all I would want to carry with me. So for travel, mountain biking, hiking, climbing and all those other wicked outdoor sports, what would you take? Keep in mind weight, lens quality, versatility and the subject matter: landscapes and adventure sports
A few ideas:
1. Buy a DA*16-50 and pair it with the 55-300.
2. Stick with the 17/4 Fisheye and pair it with the 18-55
3. Buy an 18-135 and call it a day
4. Buy a UWA, maybe a 12-24 paired with 55-300?
Other random thoughts:
- I LOVE my SMC takumars, but i'm starting to think that the demands of my photography, moving from static subjects to "on the run" photos, makes AF lenses more appropriate
- I've relished the idea of shooting video and stills on the DA35mm Macro...keeping it as a walkabout.
- 15mm f4 would be a great walk about lens as well.
- Aren't the old takumars better for video?
What would you do?
