Originally posted by gokenin Hello folks I am heading out on vacation in a couple of weeks and was thinking about my kit and want your opinions. Here is the list of lens that you can choose from.
glass DA: 10-17,50-200,21,55-300 FA: 43,28-105,77 K: 24,30,50,55,135 A: 28,50 macro M:50 150,200 sigma 17-70 tamron 24-135,75-300 Takumars: 28,35,50,55,85,105,135
conditions 1) would like them to be able to use on film and digital (taking my K200 and either the MZ-7 or the ME havent decided) 2) want it to be light in weight 3) dont want to take more than 5 lens 4) can mix and match zooms and primes
Since you note later you are going to disney, definitely take the 10-17, a fish eye would be a lot of fun there.
That leaves you 4 lenses. but without knowing a couple of additional points I am not sure what is next. Is the sigma 17-70 a DG or DC lens (i.e. full frame or ASP-C) same with the tamron 24-135, but I suspect this is a full frame.
Of your zooms in the ~20-150 range I would take the fastest full frame one of the bunch
That leaves 3 lenses and I would take primes 24, a 50mm F1.4 and the 135 especially if it is the F2.5
I see no need for long lenses, and fast primes let you do low light stuff, the fish eye and the wide to portrait / mid tele, is enough for general shooting.
I would take the MZ-7 because it should be able to deal with any lens that has a crippled K mount. Even the fisheye, although you will have a circular image.
