[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]All of the instructors (Turnley, Abell, Gibson) of the workshops I have been to have given one common bit of advice : pick a lens and learn to use it. I don?t totally follow their advice, I usually travel (personal travel, paid gigs are a different story) with 3 lenses (28,35 &50 all f/2) but each day I pick one lens and use it all day. Saves a lot of time, not trying to decide what lens to use! Sensor stays cleaner without all that lens switching and there is a bit less weight to carry around. And your eye becomes trained to pre-visualize the different focal lengths. I?m jealous, enjoy your trip!
