AND you can only bring one MF light weight lens. Who do you take? I have a love hate with the OM 1.4/50 but it covers me for most situations so I am tempted. However I am beginning to favour the Yashica ML'agon 35mm as a walk about lens plus I have focus confirmation on the adapter so this would be my natural choice. |

For general purpose any 35mm lens is a good choice for crop camera like yours 35 x 1.6 = 56mm. _________________ -------------------------------

I would take a 35mm lens but for a full frame.
Which means something in the range from 20 to 24 mm for an APS crop. _________________ Orio, Administrator

I did, after all, take cameras with me for my vacation, 5D and Zeiss Ikonta A (6x4.5). For the 5D I have only the VPK Meniscus and the two Radionars, 2.9/50 and 4.5/105, with me, and most often I have the 105 mounted as a walk-around lens, perhaps a little bit wide on the 5D but I don't have a longer choice. At home, with the 350D, I now quite often take the 4/180 Elmar-R for a walk-around lens unless I have some specific need for WA in mind.

hi Veijo, hope your vacation is going great.
Based on the lenses you and I choose, we should go on photographic vacation together, because we would never shoot the same image! I would take care of the wides, and you would handle the long shots _________________ Orio, Administrator

Hmmm...depends on where I go and what I want to shoot.
City? Streets? I would take the Nikkor-N.C 2.8/24.
Landscapes? Nikkor-N.C 2.8/24 or Nikkor-O 2.0/35
Persons in a city? Either the Nikkor-O 2.0/35 or the Pentax-M SMC 1.7/50.
Indoor? Perhaps the Tomioka-Revuenon 1.4/55 or the Nikkor-O 2.0/35, depending on the room.
Portrait? Jupiter-9 or even CZJ 4/135.
Details in a city? Nikkor-Q.C 3.5/135 or Jupiter-37.
And because I never absolutely know what I will shoot, I have to take 6 or 7 lenses. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

Hi, thanks, yes, a lot of music and not much else - I've attended 30+ concerts and still have another 30+ to go. The temperatures are lowish, the day before yesterday the morning temperature was 9° Celsius and in the afternoon the highest temperature was around 13°, now we have something like 17°, which is just OK, all the venues stay bearable - a school auditorium without air-conditioning will get rather humid or even unbearably moist with 400 people in when the outside temperature rises to 25°.
The 105 is OK for scenery here, wide open for some DOF effects, it only takes a little bit more walking for proper composition. Sometimes I could have, of course, used a shorter lens, but I've been too lazy to change lenses although I always have the 50 mm Radionar with me.
