Food for thought.
« on: February 10, 2010, 10:24:19 AM »
Galen Rowell says in one of his books that something like 90% of his top images were taken, or could have been taken, with a single camera and 24mm and 85mm lenses. Forget about cheap zooms and learn to move your feet. Good advice.


Can you tell I'm becoming a fan of the Prime? ;D

If you like prime then you should go back to Sony, you could have both of their prime lenses :-\

Yeh, but look at his portfolio.  If I climbed mountains and took vistas and portraits of other climbers - the only lenses I might need are the 24 and 85.  Plus the zooms of today are much better than the zooms of his time.  Not that they are better than many primes.  My back isn't what it used to be - that's another reason I now carry zooms.
