Hi all,
While I'm currently not going very far from my house, I'm dreaming about the next trips (that will hopefully be possible at some point...)
After I switched from Canon to Fuji 6 years ago, I've mostly only taken prime lenses on trips. I've tried a lot and the setup that seems to work best for me is:
- ultra wide lens: Samyang 12mm f2 (18mm equiv.)
- "normal" lens: Fuji xf 23mm f1.4 (35mm equiv).
1 body (x-t1 in my case)
That's it.
In the past I've also taken a 56mm f1.2 and for other trips a 55-200 zoom, but somehow, when I look back and sample pictures to show to family, it's mostly the wide and normal shots that get selected. So I stopped bringing the tele all together. Also, more than 2 lenses and 1 body result in lots of juggling... So I don't end up swapping lenses around a lot anyway.
So what's your approach? Lot's of lenses in a backpack or minimalist approach?
Edit: Whoops, I meant prime lenses (fixed focal length, not necessarily fixed on the camera, e.g. not just fuji x100 etc.). Sorry, small language hiccup there.
