Yeah I'm pretty happy with my setup at the moment.

Me too mate, I am working on it as best I can!

I agree with the F4 comment, especially with newer sensor technology advancements. I also did buy a Tamron 17-28mm before the 14-30mm but the autofocus was incompatible with the FTZ adaption to my camera (the newer versions are compatible). I will check out the 15-30mm, thanks for the tip.

Thank you.

Thanks mate.

Don't worry I also hate phone lenses so I only use it when I really need to.

@@seancjmatthews1:10...so comfortable... so warm, so homely, so romantic.

Espero poder hacer más videos este año ya que acabo de terminar mi primera caminata desde mi lesión. ¡Estoy emocionado de volver a salir y gracias por mirar!

It was a good one to be honest. Even the road section was great after climbing through all the hills and was a relief to be back on consistent ground.

Yes I have had a couple of comments on this now and have corrected this in the title and description. Thank you.

Hope you enjoy it!

Yes these was shot back to back but there are a few factors though at that exact time point as I did have to walk around and come back to the camera to change lenses and I moved the camera slightly. A more accurate comparison with raw footage back to back with each other was at 9:04 where the effects do not seem as drastic as there was simplay a lens change.

I learned a lot from this little trip it was great. Thank you for checking it out!

It was actually two locations in New Zealand. The one climbing the mountainside was in the Matukituki valley and the other when I was wearing the poncho was in the copland track on the north west of the Aoraki national park.

Each to their own man! I personally don't either as I mainly do landscape images but fiddling with such a fine focus on the vintage lense was frustrating which under time pressure especially during sunset etc trying to focus stack and hdr while using focus peaking and bumping the camera trying to focus. The new lense has been great to solve the above issues for me. Not needed but nice to have.

Sorry I actually always called it a lense and not lens. You are correct, I can't change the video now but will moving forward. Thanks.

Nikkor Ai-S lenses do not contain thorium.

@@fubar4fpvWhere did you get your lenses from, the Chernobyl collection?

This was in January just after Christmas.

It was amazing. I would love to go back in winter or spring as the peaks of the mountains would have snow. Winter it's a white out and many tracks are closed

HEY HEY! It was such a good night. Thank you guys making the night awesome even through I kept you awake and wouldn't leave your tent haha.

This was January this year

I'm not entirely sure as I hiked this a year ago now.

It's my story filming a journey through this trail to give anyone who wants to watch it an idea of the terrain and the scenery that they would encounter if they are planning on visiting. It is not intended as a how to guide talking about a trail but a visual walk through of my experience as I'm actually out there doing it.

Yes I have a few vintage lenses and I have still taken some of my best photos with this one. I am comparing it to a much newer lense here so it's an uphill battle but it still holds up really well for its age in my video's and images.

It's a car key box so that the car relocation services can come and relocate your car while you are on trail as this hike is a point to point style with very limited bus/public transport options up in the mountains. I hiked this over peak season so most public services were all booked up. At the end of the video you'll see the same hire car in a new spot.

@@seancjmatthews Thank you. Good to know about this service. We like New Zealand and are heading back again next year. We will be hiking the Grand Traverse track with Ultimate Hikes. I am a wimp so cannot carry so much stuff.

Thank you :)

Thank you for watching!

Haha yes we are all human and make mistakes!

Leaving Katoomba there are streams everywhere so you shouldn't have an issue as I did this in summer. My solitary there aren't as many so would fill up before ascending. From the campsite and all through the valley you won't have an issue.

@@seancjmatthews thanks very much mate

Thank you so much man.

Thank you. I have a couple of plans to sort through for the next ones but I have been slack haha :)

Haha yeah I thought I would put that in at the end for a laugh. At least I can show what it is really like as there is a lot of editing in this and other video's that cut out some realistic parts of the trip.

@@seancjmatthews great video, ive watched all your other ones hope there are more to come. Im thinking later this year doing The Kepler and then the Greenstone/Caples a couple of days later

Not all the time. I sometimes carry it with the camera attached, or I will sometimes remove the camera and just carry the tripod. Definitley store your camera away over tricky sections though. I have dropped this camera a couple of times and smashed the rear screen trying to be lazy by not packing it up over slippery terrain.

@@seancjmatthews Wow that's commitment. Appreciate the effort you put in to bring us this film.

No problem man!

I'm lucky it was only a 3 hour flight away from my home in Australia :D

Thank you so much man!

Oh you will love it and have probably picked the best time. I did this in early January which was peak summer so I'm sure you'll be seeing more snow capped mountains when you go. Enjoy!!

I hope so as this is one of the more popular hikes in NZ! let's go!!

Thank you kind lady. haha
