Timotis77

I hope to do the same, But......... I know I will end up buying one (Pentax 645Z anyway).....

Yes same, I always use my camera bag/packpack as my carry on, stick my camera gear in and If i have room for other stuff, I stick that in too. If not, it goes in checked!

"A smartphone is your best traveling hardware"..... For the use of Google maps and communication only....

I take my D810 every time, with 2-3 lenses, Personally I don’t think too much about weight (other than staying underweight for carry on).
These small cameras are good for what they are and maybe...

@UncoyDP "Okay Timotis77, you prefer carrying 12 Kg of photo gear with you”
Not sure where you got the 12kgs photo gear from, other than exaggerating the point. Unless you claim a little human as...

@T3 ‘As for distributing the weight of a 1200g 40mm f/1.4 lens’

So is this Lens the only lens, or camera or tripod you have in your bag? i'm sure not, And i'm pretty sure whatever else you carry...

@T3 So for you, you like to reduce weight for 'efficiency', that’s personal preference right? You are still to proved to me, you/we are better off carrying less weight (Not talking about body...

@UncoyDP 'Anyone and everyone feels 7 Kg on a day long hike or gig' I Still see this as personal opinion, Many, including me would have NO issue carrying around such weight, whether it be for a...

@T3 Far from offended, I just find these comments fact less and silly.... (or absurd)
Being young, doesn’t equal being fit, Being old doesn’t equal unfit... Maybe in your book this is the case, but...

@T3 'Ironically, it's the older generation who are typically less fit and already carrying around extra body weight who still are more inclined to using heavier DSLR gear'??????
You are from the...

I just carried my camera gear around Japan for 3 weeks, on a daily basis I would carry my 3 lens, my camera body and a tripod (about 5-6kgs. Added to this was my 8kg 4 month old daughter……. Not at...

@T3 “It's only in the camera industry do we have people who are seeking out heavier gear, and think of it as a bizarre badge of courage, or people saying "Work out more so you can carry heavier...

@T3 The only absurdity is you thinking I'm telling you, you can't have running hot water anymore, or no toilet (though I think a week or two of this could do you good).....

Here in the western...

I dont understand this weight issue people have with lens (in the western world)... People in 3rd world counties walk kms daily to get water, only having to carry it back to their respective...

Beautiful Lens, great travel replacement for the Tamron 15/30mm 2.8..... Half the weight and just as sharp and good focal length (IMO) Carried it around Japan for 3 weeks…. Fingers crossed for you ...

I just took this lens to Japan for a few weeks, all in all, I love this lens. Its light, and in what I shoot has good focal range and is pretty sharp throughout the range from centre to corners. ...

Have to agree with the 'soy fuelled hipster millennial phone zombies.'......

I haven’t tried either of these, but I have used my Tokina 100mm f/2.8 for head shots, even long distance landscapes. I think it does a Stella job considering it’s primarily a macro lens (And a ...
