去年の娘の入学式の時に買った、

Sigma 28-70mm F2.8　あまりにも使用頻度が低いので

マップカメラに売って小さめの単焦点を買おうかな、と。

ズームレンズって逆に自分には難しいね。

単焦点のほうが色々と割り切れてスパッと撮れる。

ソニー純正の40mmF2.5がいいかなと思ってる。

コンパクトだしフィルター径が49mmなのもイイね。

マップカメラの買取査定次第だけど、

手出しができるだけ少ないと嬉しい。

.

そういえば今コレを書きながら思い出したけど、

台湾に送った私のRicohGR1sはどうなったんやろ。

送った直後に台湾を大地震が��ったから、

いろいろと大変だろうと思い、コンタクトを取ってないけども。

GR1もだけど、台湾の職人たちが無事にやっていけてるといいな。

What lenses do you use for photography? Got a favourite?

I'm actually rebuilding my lens collection at the moment. I sold all but one lens years ago in a very depressive state and I have been regretting it as I've begun taking photos again.

So I've been doing a lot of thinking about what I would need to do the kinds of photography I enjoy most.

I do a lot of product or still life photography which requires a lot of detail. Especially when I get into the close up and macro realm. So I have been considering doing all primes rather than zooms, since those tend to be sharper at lower price points. Sharp zoom lenses can get crazy expensive.

My first lens that a lovely follower gifted me was the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art lens. This will be my primary portrait lens. And I can throw some extension tubes on to get some near macro shots.

I also have a Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 lens. This is probably my favorite lens of all time. I call it my puppy lens. It was primarily what I used to capture photos of Otis. It only works on APS-C bodies, so if I upgrade to a full frame camera, I will have to replace it. Which I have mixed feelings about. It covers the 28-56mm range on a full frame body.

I want a wide lens for landscapes, so I was considering the Samyang 14mm F2.8.

And I want a proper macro lens at some point, and I'd like to have a more tele portrait lens, so the Sigma 70mm f/2.8 Art Macro lens could pull double duty.

Both are pretty affordable, especially used.

That would probably be all I need, but if I ever get my disability settlement figured out, I might look into a telephoto lens and maybe something in the 24mm range to fill in the gap between the 14mm and 50mm.

And if I ever come into a lot of money, I'd probably get the Sony A7R V with the holy trinity zooms. 16-35, 24-70, and 70-200.

Plus a macro lens... obviously. Laowa just released a macro lens kit that basically takes microscope objectives and mounts them on a camera. Those would be nuts to play with.

My 2 paragraph rule has gone completely off the rails.

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.

Sturdy Workhorse, or One Trick Pony? Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 Review

Is cutting off 4mm -- and a few hundred dollars -- a worthy exchange for a lightweight, bright zoom?

For more stories like this, please subscribe to The Phoblographer. The 24-70mm f2.8 lens is a workhorse lens — but it’s a bit of a Clydesdale. The zoom mixed with the bright aperture tends to create a heavy lens that’s difficult to carry around all day. That’s why Sigma (gasp!) shaved four mm off the traditional workhorse wide-to-mid to craft the Sigma 28-70mm f2.8. The Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 DG DN…

ちょっと思うところがあって、

レンズを大量に処分した。

二束三文かと思ったけど10万弱くらいになってうれしい。

α7用で残したレンズは

①SIGMA 28-70mm F2.8 (普段使い)

②SONY 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 (運動会等)

③Zeiss 50mm F2 (お気に入りなので何となく残した)

この3本。

Aマウントのフィルムカメラ用レンズも

50mmの単焦点一本にだけ残した。

防湿庫が少し寂しくなったけど、

もうどのレンズを持ち出すか悩まなくてよくなった。
