rmalbers Posted March 23, 2017 #152 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I ended up taking the Pentax K-50 with the 18-135mm lens and the Oly TG-4 on the Greek Islands cruise and really got some great pictures. I left the 55-300mm home and didn't really miss it. I'm doing the Venice to Barcelona cruise at the end of Sept. and I've thought about getting a wider angle lens but I just hate changing lenses and risk getting dust on the sensor so I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Most of my shots where at or near 18mm on the Greek cruise which included several days in Rome before the cruise started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abfranklin Posted March 23, 2017 #154 Share Posted March 23, 2017 * sorry I got busy with work. Canon T3i 18-135 FE Lens I enjoy landscape and low light photography. Looking to get an interverometer and try my hand at DSLR timelapse sailing out of Manhattan Wednesday on Norwegian Gem. I don't own the right post editing software and post production software to pull it off, looks like I need Adobe lightroom and LrTimelapse . Any ideas? I have had success with merging images and editing with software that came from Canon. Lots of tutorials on YouTube.

Rare havoc315 Posted March 24, 2017 #155 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Been almost a year, any updates or recommendations to add to our collection of camera gear. Tom :cool: Don't remember what I did and didn't have when I last posted... But some recent updates and recommendations... For me, it has finally reached the point where a phone can replace a compact camera. My iphone 7 is really quite capable, and has replaced any thought of carrying a compact camera. But for most of my photography, I still have Nikon D750 and Sony A6300.... New gear recommendations: I've gotten 2 Tamron primes for the Nikon D750. They are SUPERB. Both the 45/1.8 and 85/1.8 --- Especially the 85mm has breathtaking IQ. They are both reasonably priced. And they both have image stabilization. The Sigma ART lenses may have a very slight edge in IQ, but they are bigger, heavier, more expensive, and lack stabilization. So huge thumbs up to the Tamron SP primes. Not sure if I have the Sony A6300 as of my last postings.... It is a fantastic travel camera. I can carry the A6300, with 10-18/4 (very very good lens), 16-70/4 (mediocre lens especially for the price but serviceable), plus 2-3 prime lenses and a flash, all in a mid-sized camera bag, without breaking my back. Unfortunately, I miss the full frame IQ, so I end up still lugging my D750 and lenses, but at least I'll leave it in the hotel room/cabin occasionally. Finally, I don't have it yet.. but I have pre-ordered the Irix 11mm -- Looking forward to really pushing ultra ultra wide boundaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Crew News Posted March 24, 2017 #156 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I added an Olympus EM-1 Mark 2 to my camera collection. When I tried the 60 fps silent mode, I was blown away. After I reduce this rate down a lot, my in-flight wildlife photos should provide a higher number of great image captures. Bursts of 18 fps during youth basketball games showed that many shots are taken with their eyes shut! The larger sensor makes a difference. Noise is significantly reduced at raised ISO settings. One downside is the larger battery size that doesn't let me use my smaller belt-clip battery pouches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaKnowWhen Posted March 24, 2017 #157 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I ended up taking the Pentax K-50 with the 18-135mm lens and the Oly TG-4 on the Greek Islands cruise and really got some great pictures. I left the 55-300mm home and didn't really miss it.

Most of my shots where at or near 18mm on the Greek cruise which included several days in Rome before the cruise started. The Pentax DA12-24mm is a very nice lens. If you find yourself mostly shooting wide and you are thinking wider, that would be a very good lens. The longer end, 24mm, is comparable to a 36mm lens on a full frame, a focal length which was considered a good alternative to the "standard" 50mm "normal" lens back in the film days.

GottaKnowWhen Posted March 27, 2017 #159 Share Posted March 27, 2017 ... Going on Alaska 6 day land, 7 day cruise in May. Trying to decide which lenses to pack with the 7D bodies....Also taking my Manfrotto travel Tripod & Monopod, both with Kirk Ball heads....Sent from my SM-G935V using Forums mobile app I know nothing about Canon systems. But here is what I did on my way to Alaska last summer... At the time I had a Pentax K-3 (APS-C sensor with a 1.5x crop factor), a Pentax K-1 (full frame), and a Pentax 645Z (medium format, 0.8x crop factor for equivalence to the 35mm "standard"). And a bucket full of lenses for each. To help me think about which to take and then which subset of those I would actually have with me on any given field trip, I laid out a spreadsheet showing the horizontal field of view of various lenses on the 3 different bodies. A one page pdf is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qn2tzf43nh77n1q/Lens%20FOV%20Comparison.pdf?dl=0 Our trip started with a b2b: Seward-Vancouver-Seward. After the cruise portion we were 2 weeks in Anchorage, Katmai, Kenai, and Denali. We were in and out of Anchorage, stayed in the same B&B 4 different times for a total of 6 nights, and essentially used that as our base camp. So for the cruise portion I left my tripod (Manfroto with Kirk head) along with my 400mm lens and my medium format gear in storage at the B&B. I considered taking my monopod (with Kirk head) but left it home and never regretted that decision. By the way, I have since sold all of the APS-C gear and most of the medium format (one lens still to sell) and am happily living with the K-1 full frame.

I've taken a whole lot of pictures with everything from a Kodak disposable to a DSLR and the amount of enjoyment wasn't related to the camera. Happy shooting!

jayarrG7 Posted August 12, 2017 #175 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Canon G12 Canon 60d A bag full of lenses, but will usually only take two or three on a cruise. A number of speedlites and strobes, used in my real estate photography business. Agree with previous post that the equipment is far less important than the technique and vision.
