Jon054 Posted March 20 #1 Share Posted March 20 Taking my first cruise abroad. I shoot Sony APSC gear and am curious what lenses to take? Without any knowledge otherwise, I’m taking two bodies. One with my 18-105 f4 and the other with my new 11-18 f2.8. I’m taking both bodies for two reasons. First, in case something happens to one. Second, I can have each lens mounted to its own body so I don’t have to switch lenses on the fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pierces Posted March 21 #2 Share Posted March 21 I took a quick look at lens usage in Lightroom from our Ireland/Iceland trip a few years ago. I looked at the Ireland segment and it shows that I shot over 90% of the images with the 24-105 f/4 on my A7. I actually used the 70-300 mounted on the A6300 more than the 12mm f/2 Rokinon, but neither were used very often. It looks like you are pretty well covered.

While I didn’t say it, my real question was whether I should take my 70-350 lens. Given the crop factor of my A6600 and A6700, I’m going to leave the longer lens home. One lens that was never in question was my 200-600 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are bits and details that you just can't get with a 150mm equivalent lens. This shot of a lucky traveler kissing the Blarney Stone would have been a little less detailed with a shorter lens.

Rare mskaufman Posted April 9 #5 Share Posted April 9 Last year I took my tamron 18 - 400. There were times I was very glad I had the longer zoom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon054 Posted April 9 Author #6 Share Posted April 9 You’ve convinced me. Just got home from Central Arkansas photographing the eclipse. Wow is not descriptive enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had solid over cast, kind of a let down after all the reports of how great it was going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon054 Posted April 10 Author #8 Share Posted April 10 I have a bud that works for the national weather service. I pestered him endlessly trying to decide which of 3 states I was going to visit. Luckily, it turned out to be the nearest one. On the 3 hour drive, it was cloudy but an hour before the show started, the clouds parted like the Red Sea did for Moses.
