I was given an opportunity to bring this baby to the Tohoku region of Japan to see what it can do.
Since my itinerary was really tight and I would need to travel to a different prefecture daily, I wanted to travel light.
Light??!!? with a FX sensor DSLR? Some would advise me otherwise
This is my solution of full DSLR functionality and light weight.
Use a lighter lens, simple. I do not want to cut corners on the controls and IQ that I get with a FX DSLR so i select lenses that are sharp and at the same time, light.
In this case, I requested for the AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f3.5-4.5G ED Approx. 385 gand the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Approx. 350 g
this make the full camera and lens weight less than 2 Kg. I mounted the Markins LN-800 L Plate without any problems, the use of an L-plate allows me to use a smaller and lighter tripod setup.
I travel to distant places and I do not want to compromise on my image quality.
