You take a beautiful photo. What do you photograph with?
I usually use a Nikon D5500 with a Tamron 18-400 zoom lens. If you want to see more I'm also on Flickr with the same username.

Transitioning Gear: From Canon to Sony - A Journey of Adaptation and Savings
Preparing for an upcoming event in Leicester City, I decided to introduce a new addition to my camera gear. Before diving into the shoot, I wanted to familiarize myself with this latest equipment to ensure it seamlessly integrated into my setup.
My journey with photography spans across several iconic camera brands, starting from Minolta, Yashica, Practica, Olympus, and Pentax cameras from 1984 to 1991, transitioning to Nikon cameras from 1991 to 1998. However, the landscape shifted in 1998 when Canon stepped into the scene, bidding adieu to the familiar camera room. Canon swiftly became my preferred brand, solidifying that connection in 1999 with the Canon 400mm f2.8 L IS lens.
This lens became a staple, accompanying me to photograph international cricket matches for the Sri Lankan cricket team during my tenure at Reuters News Service. Its recommendation stemmed from multiple factors—excellent image quality, minimal optical distortion, a rapid aperture, image stabilization, and an agile autofocus system. While this lens thrived in sports reporting, my repertoire expanded to include everyday news, even extending to covering conflicts, utilizing three lenses: the Canon 16-35mm f2.8, 35-70mm f2.8, and 70-200mm f2.8. With a surplus of cameras matched to these lenses, I seamlessly interchanged cameras during shoots, minimizing lens changes.
However, as time progressed, my photographic needs underwent a metamorphosis. Weight reduction in equipment and a streamlined lens collection became paramount. Deliberating on this, Sony cameras emerged as a plausible option due to their lightweight build. Additionally, capturing bustling scenes without frequent lens changes became an appealing prospect.
Yet, I wasn’t prepared to compromise on lens quality or sacrifice the minimum aperture of f2.8. While lenses like Tamron 18-400mm f3.5-6.3, Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 L IS, and Sigma 28-300mm f/5.6-6.3 offered a range, the varying aperture and potential compromise in image quality didn’t align with my standards.
Contemplating a transition to Sony while retaining my Canon equipment, I stumbled upon the 35-150mm 2-2.8 lens—an intriguing find. Among the options like Samyang AF 35-150 f/2-2.8 FE and Tamron 35-150 mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD, I found subtle performance differences despite a significant price gap and that feverable to Samyang. Opting for the Samyang, priced attractively on Amazon at £854.00 while Tamoron price £1486.00, seemed like the right choice after thorough research.
Thus, with the Samyang 35-150 f2-2.8, a Sony A7 Mark II, and a Godox Xpro at an Amazon special price, I made the purchase using allocated funds for new camera equipment.
Adapting from my Canon gear to Sony, I sought solutions for flash equipment. I found that using the Godox XPro to employ flash strobe lights for Sony, alongside the Godox SX 400 Studio Flash for Canon and Godox V1Hot Shoe, proved more cost-effective than purchasing new flash equipment. The entire conversion from Canon to Sony, inclusive of accessories, totaled £1585.00. This transition meant relinquishing the focal range of 35-16mm and 150-200mm, which I deemed acceptable given the substantial savings.
Considering the Amazon prices, the total expense for the Canon lenses (16-35mm f/2.8 = £1599.00, 24-70mm f/2.8 = £1947.00, and 70-200mm f/2.8 = £1624.00) would have amounted to £5170.00. Thus, by completing a full Canon to Sony conversion, I managed to meet my requirements while saving £3585.00.
With my setup primed, I am now geared up to capture the event in Leicester City next weekend, all with the convenience of a single lens.

Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR
Yahoo!ショッピングにてポイント利用で25,000円ほどで購入。 f/4.5-5.6ですがまああまり明るさは求めないかな。早くて静かなAF-Pで35mm換算15-30mmの超広角〜広角域をカバーするレンズ。
フィルター径は72mm。メインレンズの17-70mm、ラグビー用の18-400mmと同じなのでフィルターを共有できるのは大きい。
ひとまずC-PLをつけてみたけど、UVフィルターに変えて家の中と家の周りをうろうろ。
わお!すごいパースだぜ。
10mm 1/15 f/4.5 晴天 カスタム
この撮影範囲はやばい。余計なものが写りこんじゃうので、フレーミングはしっかりやらないと。
10mm 1/1000 f/4.5 ISO100 晴天 VELVIA100F
これも黄色い花は入るはずじゃなかったんだけど(^^;;
10mm 1/160 f/4.5 ISO100 晴天 VELVIA100F
これは面白い。
10-20、18-70、18-55、18-400とこれでほぼフルカバー。
メインレンズ SIGMA Contemporary 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC MACRO OS HSM
キットレンズ Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR
主にラグビー撮影用 TAMRON 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di Ⅱ VC HLD
DX随一の明るさ、標準単焦点 Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G

Quick 4K Test of the Tamron 18-400mm lens. One example at 18mm and one at 400mm to see the dynamics of this lens. Did this back when I first got the lens. This has become my go to outdoor/wildlife lens due to its versatility. It's a lot better than I expected it to be. I'll be posting much more examples with it soon! #Tamron #Tamron18400 #18400mm #UltraZoom #Wide #Zoom #Nikon #NikonD500 #D500 #TravelLens #WildlifeLens
