My Coverage

[sulhan]

Hiee...

I've been receiving emails from newbies who queried on the lenses i use (coverage)....so here is the basics of my rig:

- 24-85mm - Paired with the 70-300 for normal outing - Usually used for Travelling (landscape,street,events)
- 70-300mm - Backup macro - longer working distance - Nature, Portrait
- 100mm - dedicated for macro + Portrait
- 50mm - dedicated for travel - "one shot,one kill" (ALL - Nature, travel,landscape)

All in all enough to fit in my little bag.......

Regards,
me

How about the other Minolta users????.......

Hi Sulhan,

Nice meeting you that day.My usual len's is 24-50 f4 for street. For travel, me use 24-50 f4, 16mm fisheye and 70-210 f4 lens.me just came back from pangkor island m'sia, tried 17-35mm f3.5 G, 85mm f1.4 G, 100-300mm f4.5-5.6 apo.

my workhouse is the 50mm f1.7 now (ALL shots as well).... for travel i couple it with my 135mm f2.8 (portraits or macros)...
would like to take my 28-80mm f4 to get wider angle shots but need to find a bigger bag... :embrass:

*sighz* besides that I have my 90-300mm f4.5 for far shots (mainly for nature or maybe portraits)

The 24-85 was my main lens for a very long time,
accounting for easily 90% of my shots.

Other lens I use more often is the 24 f/2.8 (particularly while trekking),
135 f/2.8 (great lens and compact, together with a teleconvert while travelling give good reach and low light ability), and the Tokina 100-300 f/4 (great for safari, but too heavy for anything else.)

A 24-105 AFD is my workhorse, from wide angle landscapes and such to close portraiture. Stuff like this: 2000 pounds. I use my 50 1.4 for low-light and couple it with 3 Kenko extension tubes for > 1:1 macro And finally, a Sigma 50-500 for anything that isn't close enough and I can't get to it. Like this: vulture. In the future I'd like to snag the 17-35 G, 70-200 2.8 and 300 2.8 (In that order. Damned college student budget!)
