Re: Do you need the "best" lens

I don't ..

While hiking or trekking you are always lilited by weight and size so the small prime series is welcome with a very good to excellent IQ

Another concern is not to miss the crucial instant and this leads back to the ability to have say a "good" lens most of the time with you.

I don't print larger than A3 nor I need a super shallow DOF so my lenses at F2 are ok

An even the Tamron 18-300mm when travelling with a limited gear gives good results with some PP

In fact it is not completely true, in macro I use the 80mm f 2.8, is it the best ????
