Hi all,

 

wonder if anyone could help me decide on a lens to compliment my 16-55mm and 55-200mm.

 

Family holiday soon to US - LA, Disney, Vegas and Grand Canyon. Clearly most places covered by existing glass but am looking for a 3rd and final smaller and lighter lens for those times when taking a big one just won't be practical. Am thinking here evenings out, possibly Disney too etc. Trying to decide between 18, 27 and 35/2.

 

Thoughts ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Having both 27 and 35f2 can say that 35mm without doubt has overall better quality and handling, it's one stop faster, quick and silent... but 27 has "unic" angle of view that let you be nearer and capture more context (18mm might be too wide). So i'll definitly keep these two in my bag.

 

27at2.8 This is where Pokemons are coming from...

I know you didn't mention this lens, but what about the 23 1.4? It sits right in the middle of the focal lengths you mentioned, is a stop faster than any of the lenses you mentioned, and is IMHO the sweet spot for shooting everyday life (wide enough for most situations, but tight enough to still be versatile).

      Anyone out there have any experience/feedback on the Laowa 55 mm tilt shift? I’d be using it on the GFX 50s ii.

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
