 Originally posted by pres589  Seems like a good kit to bring with. Curious how often you use the 28mm vs. leaving the 18-55 on the camera. It's small, bring it if you want. At some point I think you owe it to yourself to buy a wide angle lens. I've taken most of my photos with the 28mm, although I did spend a weekend recently photographing with the 18-55 and had some pretty good shots. I'm lucky enough that my kit fits in my Nat Geo bag in the camera compartment, then I've got the top compartment for other bits an bobs and 20kg carry on where the tripod is going, So i'm taking a variety and happy to lug a slightly heavier pack around as I'm very very active anyway. I may find I end up shooting alot with the 18-55 in the day, will see how the first day pans out! ---------- Post added 08-30-17 at 12:19 AM ---------- Originally posted by NoCo Pentaxian You're going to have lots of fun.

Well... I only really used the Kit lens and the 50mm f1.7! Stitched some photos and I got some great shots though, even the kit lens suprised me in the dark with the aurora, although my 50mm was the go to dark lens when not shooting the aurora. Hardly slept and also had the biggest solar flare in 10 years on my trip, so the aurora was out in force! Like watching youtube on two of the nights, saw them for five nights in total. Will post some up soon, still sorting and editing Did 2249 miles in 10 days, what a trip! | |

| ---------- Post added 09-22-17 at 03:07 AM ---------- Originally posted by pres589 I could see a nice three lens kit out of a 16-45 (seems like a nice lens, just not a light grabber), your fast 50, and then a 55-300. Some are quite inexpensive used although I would not get one with a plastic mount as it is a bit heavy for that sort of thing. Maybe 150 Euros used for one of the early ones? | |
