I am interesting:
1. possibility shoot on the rain and snow without headeach that I damage lens and camera
2. filter to use polariser and ND creatively
3. weight below 1 kilos (it should be nice 200g, but I can not find any solutions with WR and 20-40 zoom limited is not very interesting option for angle)
Originally posted by Lowell Goudge For me I don't see the need to have wide angle for both formats, unless you already do,
Much of the reason for 2 bodies is to not change lenses, even with APS-C sensors I have a 10-20 on one body and a 28-75 on the other most of the time, and took advantage of the FOV of full frame when I first moved to digital by taking WA shots on film and longer (tele) shots on digital because that is what the different formats offered.
I am not looking for wide angle in both bodies, but I am looking for not duplicate solution fx (47mm on APS-C, 50mm with crop factor on FF). It is not problem for me get 70mm on the end in zoom if I can
get wide angle on beggining range. In reality I am looking more for FF lens to use with APS-C and FF bodies and get longer lens throught crop factor 1,5x on APS-C. I am open to another solution.
It is simple thing. If it is nightmare weather in mountain and temperature above 10 Celcius degree I has two bodies on me. If I see nice weather I swich on one body to 77 limited or 100 to get macro or portrait feature. If I see more interesting landscape than macro I switch to wide angle. At the end if I find more interesting distance subject - teleconverter with 100 macro or if I plan short hiking / walking below 10 kilometers in not demanding terraing telephoto len. On APS-C ~16mm or 28 on FF from crop factor is optimal choice. The best choice for angle is about 15mm, but when I think in perspective weight of 15-30 mm FF angle I can live with 28mm FF as optimal choice.
I do not want changing lens when I am in terrain. It would be nice get another angle to more creative stuff by simple changing them on bodies before I start to go.
