Anon, what is in your travel kit?Mine see picrelated. Leaving for a 10day trip in two hours. That's what I take with me.I hope I learn something on the trip and in the future won't take two lenses - but only one.
>>4474245Based pancake enjoyer
>>4474245International student, I have a Hadley Small Pro out of frame
>>4474245R8 + RF 24-105 f/4-7.1 for snapshits and unimportant photos, and when I want maximum weight reduction.+ EF 16-35 f/4 w/ adapter for most other stuff. I will also throw my 70-200 in with this if I'm expecting to need anything more than 35mm. That's still not that much bulk to carry honestly.
>>4474245>RB67>127mm >Spot meter>Tripod >Handle + strap That's it. I've done asia and Europe with this
>>4474245Am in Japan now.Brought >D800>F80>AF-S 24-120mm f4>AF-S 85mm f1.4And then I got gifted >Z6>Z 24-120mm f4 S>F to Z adapter>Tripod>GripMy luggage is getting heavy
>>4474245m11, 35 cron and a stupid light meter that ive had since high school
>>447424528 and 35? pick one retard.
>>4474275based and envypilled. i want a leica M so bad
>>4474277that's what I'm trying to do. I mean I would take the 35 if it was roughly the same size as the 28. but it's a heavy huge piece of glass. so I'll be doing 5 days with the 28 and 5 days with the 35 to see if I can stomach the weight/size for the superior focal length. the winning lens will be my only one I take on travel then.
>>4474325>if I can stomach the weight/size for the superior focal lengthyou got lil baby bitch hands or something?
>>4474330yes
Ricoh GR IIIx for my recent trip to Italy. That's it. Turned out very nice.
I like boxes
>>4474324save up and get it. for a long time i danced around the idea of owning one. i was always on the other side of the fence making excuses. but having shot one for three years, i can say, it is the best decision i made. it is a simple camera that lets me focus on just taking pictures. the weight is fine and the familiarity of the body feels great. plus i can get it services easily. it really is a nice piece of gear.
>>4474374>attaching one of those cheap smena rangefinder to a camera that only has scale focusingHoly shit never thought of that
>>4474462how long does the annual service take? are you without cam for weeks while the germans service it?
Hassy in the bag
>>4474563It works surprisingly well given that f/3.5 on a plate camera is like f/1 on fullframe
>>4474572They have a service center in New Jersey, when I sent in an M10 via the Soho boutique it took like 2 weeks and came back with a whopping $0 invoice. YMMV.
>>4474572was in tokyo for business. came in to leica ginza with a friend to get him a digital leica. after some bargaining, he got a q2 with some goodies. since i 'helped' him choose leica, they quoted me 250$ for servicing my m10. took 2 weeks and they only charged 175 in the end since it didnt need much work.there is other third party places that are probably cheaper and quicker. i know of two places in japan that have either former leica trained staff or people who have worked on them their entire life.usa has DAG, Sherry and the chinese guy whos name i always forget.also...>annualannual??? i get them serviced about once every 10 years unless i dropped it or something is wrong. i got an m2 somewhere in a drawer that was serviced 15 years ago, still works fine today.
Nine times out of ten I just take either one of these. Usually the FM has a 24 or a 14mm on it though.>>4474582Damn thats a nice bag and strap, but doesn't a round one dig in to your shoulder?
i have >24-70 f2.8>40mm f2 cupcake>85mm f1.8>35mm f1.4And i'm honestly not sure which two to bring when I go on trips. Bringing all 4 ends up being a bit of a pain in the ass, going only 35/85 leaves me wishing i had my zoom, going zoom/40 leaves me wishing i had something faster
>>4474649>cupcakeThat would be a really good term to refer to lenses that are about as long as their exterior diameter
>>4474649Zoom and lightweight tripod or monopod?
>>4474651yeah the nikon z 40mm is too big to call a pancake lense so i call it a cupcake lense cause it looks like one on its own.>>4474652yeah I think the zoom is a lock in now, but i don't like using it at night. the 35mm is great at night at 1.4, the 85mm is also great at night and i find that focal length nice for more intimate shots. 40mm is light and lets me put my zf in a small sling bag which is nice in and of itself.
kit would obviously depend on the specifics of the trip but i'd be comfortable taking bessa r2 + 35mm nokton classic anywhere. i don't have my flash on me atm but pretend there's also a godox lux junior pictured, plus a pile of film and that's my basic kit. if i think i'll have chances for street portraits or if max mobility isn't required, i'll throw in a medium format camera as well.
>>4474652zooms are for wedding photographers and other soulless losers
This is my travel kit except I have an X-T2. Less than £500 total and constantly around my neck so no camera bag.
A Nikon D3300 + Nikkor AF 24mn f2.8 D and Nikkor AF 50mm f1.8 D in a compact waist bag + detachable lens case.
>>4474652A couple of primes plus a monopod and table tripod.
>>4474649>going only 35/85 leaves me wishing i had my zoomThis is a good combination. Adapt to using them and don't sweat it.
