Re: New Zealand Lens Choice

Hi,

I am also going to nz in October with the family and visiting the South Island. I will be going south while you go north but will do that trip later.

I also faced this quandary of lens choice. I decided that with the large amount of mountains I would take the 90mm to match with my soon to be delivered 16-55mm. I thought the 90mm would be more useful than my 14mm after going to Tasmania and using the 90mm to get greater compression of mountain images. The wide angle lenses can sometimes make the mountains look tiny. If you want a more expansive shot I just shoot it as a panorama. Anyway I have the 16mm end of the zoom for wider perspectives.

both these lenses are wr but that didn't really factor into my decision. I just wanted range from wide to telephoto in two quality lenses. I will use the 16-55 the most so it was really only the choice of the second lens.

cheers

sam
