I have a substantial list of requirements for my desert island.


Me too, provided it is a desert island and not a deserted one. Cool

AOC S-M-C Takumar 35/2 M42

Spotting a passing ship is one thing. Signaling is one more thing. Being seen is quite something!!!

Who said we're shooting digital ?!


Who said the charger is for digital? Maybe the charger is for the portable film processor...

...but it's not...

I'm assuming I have a Nikon F2 and an unlimited supply of fresh Kodachrome 64, or a Nikon D600 with unlimited SD cards and solar charger.

Nikkor 24mm f2.8
Micro-Nikkor 55mm f2.8
Vivitar 2x macro-focusing teleconverter

With such a setup, and an ample supply of food, who cares about rescue?

I agree with Michael, camera should be factorized, so if camera is
NEX:>
1. Heliar 15mm (I own one) or 12mm I have to buy or borrow my friend's or Samyang 14mm which used with lens turbo Very Happy, for landscape shot
2. Pentax 50/1,2 and extension tubes, covers daily shot, macro, bokeh
3. Longest lens I got now is CZ vario sonnar 80-200/4, which is the best zoom I ever tried, excellent sharpness at all FL and aperture.
I maybe buy tamron 500 mirror lens

Sigma 14mm f3,5 to shoot pretty landscapes

Vivitar 55mm f2,8 macro for insects and allround use

Olympus OM 300mm for ship and wild animal spotting ( can I bring my 2x teleconvertor for this lens too :p)


I think these 3 would be a pretty good range to practise all sorts of photography to not get bored quickly though I would miss my Zeiss glass Wink

Regarding the focal length, my choice would be:

80-200mm zoom
50mm prime
20-28mm prime

I know that the following setup is boring, but works well for me on FF:

Contax Zeiss Vario-Sonnar 80-200mm
Zeiss 50mm Planar F1.4
(I don't have the following, but would do the job I am pretty sure. Smile)
Zeiss 21mm Distagon or 28mm Distagon

Rokkor 58mm F1.2
Rokkor 58mm F1.2
Just in case of accidents Very Happy

It doesn't have to be Nikon. However, for me, I use a Nikon, so when I see all those wonderful lenses listed, my first thought is: "Can I mount them on my camera?"
