Re: A pause for sober reflection

I do not know your 12-40mm or 42.5mm lens, but if they are decent or better, I gather they would be very good for about 85-90% of what you will likely shoot. Again, if you have some extra money, I would suggest an extension ring and/or a 2x converter. If you have more than a little, suggest a 50-200mm zoom lens. If you love ultra-wide shots like I do, suggest the Venus Loawa or Samyang/Rokinon 7.5% lens and shoot from close to the ground with interesting objects - like flowers, trails, etc. - in the foreground with mountains, hills and trails in the distance like my friend Marc Adamus: www.marcadamus.com  In any case best of luck...
