for those of us who are not professionals and can't afford to buy the premium lens(es) because they are way out of my pay range (& I can't justify buying very expensive lenses for my hobby) it makes my heart sing to see a professional photographer praise the 'cheaper' lens(es). well done young Henry. there is nothing wrong with using a lens with a teeny bit less quality as for me I'm only posting to insta and fb and I only print photos to put on MY wall so it really doesn't make sense to have something I can't afford when there is only me going to notice any difference in quality. each to their own is my motto. if you have enough money to be able to buy the best go for it but if you're not going to notice and use it professionally who cares? anyway that's my two penneth. thanks Henry
I'm in exactly the same boat as you Jill. I can't afford to buy all the latest 'all-singing-all-dancing' gear either. I use a 15 year old Nikon D90 and the only lens I've got, which is the Tamron 18-200mm. It's just a hobby for me too, and I'm disabled and on benefits. So you're right, it is good when a professional photographer extols the virtues of some of the less expensive gear. Henry's a top bloke and this is a brilliant channel in my opinion.
I use newer DSLR bodies but the only "new" lens I've bought is the kit 24 to 120 that came with the first body I purchased. By going vintage, and with a bit of research, I've been to explore a wide range of lenses for a whole lot. I just bought the most expensive lens I've purchased, a 20 year old Nikon zoom micro for $550 US. By going this way I've been able to introduce my daughter to photography (she has a much finer "eye" than I do), enjoy some nice images of the grandkids, AND get her to be not afraid of manual focus. The knees and one hip don't allow me to go traipsing all over Texas like Henry and his fells, so, since my truck is carrying the weight, that's not a problem for me.
My fave is a Nikon 18-70mm bought for £70. Works well for me and what I take.
@@ThePurpleHarpoon maybe watch Henry again. I think you'll find he said that the difference in quality is hardly noticeable & only pixel peepers will be able to tell. I'm not going to buy things I can't afford to "please" everyone else.
@@jillbaxter4533 I'm not advocating for buying expensive gear, but if all you have is an affordable lens, how can you know if the difference is noticeable?
At last, a photographer who talks a load of common sense aimed at the majority of us, keen amateurs who want the best they can get for the money they've got. Hooray Henry!
The black and white image across the woods to snowy mountains is fantastic.
It is nice to see someone not using the newest camera and best lenses and still taking/making great photographs. Thanks for weekly inspiration mate 👍🏻
These Do-It-All lenses are a life saver for me. I'm 73 years old, have Multiple Sclerosis and use a manual wheelchair. I've been a photographer for 58 years and used to photograph professional sports. As My MS worsened, it was hard for me to get around I had to move on from active photography to less frenetic subjects. I was using a Nikon D3 with the holy trinity lenses. My right arm and hand, I'm right handed, are partially numb and lack coordination from the MS. The D3 and f/2.8 lenses were to heavy from me to operate. I moved to a D800E and a 28-300mm zoom and it was great, but over the years it to became feeling heavier and heavier. I'm now using mirror less, a Z6 and Z6II with 24-200mm & a 14-30mm. It works great. I can't carry much equipment on my wheelchair, so these lenses are great. It's great that I have a great assistant, my lovely wife. Shes very willing to help, and also not a bad photographer. She is a small person and can't carry the loads I used to. I also feel like a warrior that isn't a warrior if they can't carry their own weapons. I don't know what I would do if I had to carry a whole truck load of prime lenses like I dis in the last century.
Thank god, this is not about another out of reach Leica. I am sick of seeing people who have just swapped their point and shoot sing the praise of these expensive luxuries. It used to be Sony, and then Fuji and now at three times the price, Leica. Good on you mate. Because of people like you I might hold on to my film Leicas.
What I have loved about your channel is the fact that you are more about shooting with what you have and not having to worry about the gear. Thank you for that brother
I agree with Jill, that is why I have been following you. Your honesty and integrity. You have proven, that you do NOT need to spend a fortune on something you love to have great results. It doesn't hurt to have your 👁👁's to set up the great composition either LOL. We enjoy all of what you do Henry. Thank you for taking us along on all your outdoor adventures. Look forward to the next one.
I love your balance of taking fabulous images and chatting to us about whatever takes your fancy. Keep 'babbling' Henry, you always have something worthwhile to say.
Monster munch hooo arrr right up my street lol 😂. Always a pleasure to watch you H.
You are 'class' Henry. Keep up the 'amazing' work!
Thankyou Henry, that hike looks amazing. 👍
My ‘go to’ lens for my Olympus gear is the 12-100 pro…especially if it’s somewhere I’ve never been to before….it’s the equivalent of a 24-200mm full frame…🎉❤
Totally agree with you that shot #1 (trees in the foreground) looks much better in B&W. And thanks for the panic pano - it wouldn't be a Henry Turner video without it! Thanks for sharing!
I'll be honest Henry, I didn't think that last image looked very brilliant on the back of the camera. But you proved me wrong! EPIC!!
I shoot with an 18-55mm kit lens and a 75-300mm. With a set of tubes that combo can do nature, landscape, macro and a variety of wildlife.
You can keep your Primes; I have several from my film days. Loved them, but it's hard to give up my telephotos.
I used to march around with a bag full of lenses, 10-18mm, nifty 50 prime, 105mm prime macro and a 70-300mm. Probably overkill but I used them all and used them a lot. Just bought a Canon R which came with a 24-105mm and took it out today. OMG the versatility is amazing. Not as wide as the 10-18 and doesn't have the reach of a 300 but does almost as good as all these other lenses. The only thing letting it down is max aperture of F4.0 but I can live with that for convenience.
A very affordable lens is the Tamron f2.8 28-200mm. Some pros use this, and it was even so affordable I could get my hands on one. I wouldn't go out without it. It's a GREAT lens.
The images look great to me 📷👍
I bought my Fuji X-T3 with the XF 16-80 and XF 70-300 lenses for exactly the same reasons, size and weight. I do a lot of hiking as well and got tired of lugging my old Canon system around. The fact that they're much less expensive was also a huge bonus. You and fellow RUclipsr Joshua Peg are both great examples of photographers taking great images without spending a fortune on gear. Thanks for another great video.
Me too!
Fabulous mono pictures thank u for sharing
Could not agree more. If you check your photographs and actually see the aperture settings you shoot at over the course of a year, most of us will find that carrying any f/2.8 lens is a waste of size, weight and cost. When I went to mirrorless, I replaced any "fast" lenses with the f/4 version and could not be happier. I can actually carry my "holy trinity" kit again. I'm hearing that sentiment from more photographers verbally, but thank you for saying it publicly. Even for portraits (the few I do), the benefits of lighter gear outweigh the loss of a bit of bokeh. And background blur is easy to do in post.
I m using a Tamron 18-400 f3.5 - 6.3 as my "do-It-all" lens on a D7100. So far I am very pleased. I am looking forward to getting some whale shots on my next sailing trip. My 18-200 did not have quite the reach I wanted.
Coming from a portrait and wedding background, I own the Z 24-70 and the 70-200 2.8s. Yes, they're phenomenal, but they have their place. Recently getting into landscapes, I'm looking at the 24-200 for all the reasons you've mentioned. Your enthusiasm, vibrance, and diversity with your work far outstrips nit picking over lens quality. Never once have I ever criticised the quality and sharpness of your images. I'm here for the art, beauty, and the fun of your adventures. With a little bit of inspiration thrown in. I'm sure most here would agree they're in awe of a particular image you've created. They're not there criticising every technical flaw within the images.
Henry, Thank you for another great video.
I call this my "walking around lens" I love it so much.
I shoot Sony and have the Tamron 28-200. Love it, love it, love it. Also recently picked up the amazing Tamron 50-400. Massive overlap with the 28-200, but I just couldn't help myself. I simply love these kind of versatile lenses, just as much as I hate switching lenses in the field. No one looking at the end result will be able to tell whether the photo was taken with a super zoom or a far more expensive native premium lens. That's how good they really are these days.
Good advice and a well grounded perspective. Ostensibly on your advice here, I sold off three of my Sony lenses and replaced them with two from different third party manufacturers that, collectively, are: lighter, faster, and have greater reach. Any sacrifice in image quality, which is negligible, is of absolutely no consequence to me or what I do with my photos. I wish that I had done this before. Thanks.
Thanks Henry!! I always enjoy watching your videos; your enthusiasm is contagious and your continual honesty is much appreciated!!! Happy shooting!
Really enjoyable video Henry; for me weight of kit to carry is paramount and I agree with you. A drone for those impossible shots ~ yes. It was my reason for buying a drone a couple of years ago😊. Liked images especially the pano 🏴
Thank you for the reassurance of not needing the best of the best gear to take professional photos. I'm a novice photographer and on a budget. Thank you so much for this video. I love the passion and dedication you have for your craft.
Another great vlog 👍. The switch to black and white on the 2nd photo , for me , was the best way to go. I have a Z5 and the same 24-200mm and selected this lens for exactly the same reasons that you gave in the video. I love it. My previous DSLR set up with 4 lenses was just getting way too heavy and cumbersome. Keeping the vlogs coming .
Excellent video Henry! In addition to your always useful explanations of what you're doing and why, it's great to hear your thoughts on getting the most out of kit that the majority of us use (as opposed to those who have the most expensive gear)! PS I love the photo you converted to B&w!
Great video Henry
Go on Lad! Fantastic video and images once again. 👍🏻
Henry you are the number 1 for enthusiasm , it is addictive , thank you mate.
Regarding your reluctance to switch lenses out on a shoot, try this it is a great workaround at least for me. (Z7ii)
With lens attached and camera turned on, remove the battery.
The shutter curtain will close.
You will hear and feel that and when you remove the lens you will see that also.
The curtain is now closed and is protecting the sensor from any outside influences.
Attach the new lens and turn the camera on and you are ready to shoot again without having exposed your sensor to potential pollution whilst changing lenses.
It is not my workaround I saw it somewhere else on youTube.
Cheers Henry, loved the second photo in black & white!. Totally agree with you about the weight in the camera bag! Love my 24-200 as well. Like you I could not justify the extra money for the 2.8’s!! Take care mate till next time. Graham👍👍
Perfect! I'm looking to get one for events. Great stuff! Thanks!
i'm always out and about with my camera kit and Mini 3 Pro every where i go as well
Great update and I agree on the do it all lens. Since I got my Z7II, I have reduced to two lenses, a 24-200 do it all plus 14-30 for wide angle. Means travelling light but also I think makes you raise your game to get the best out of less lenses. 👍👏
I just bought a used A-mount Sony series II 70-400mm f4.0-f5.6 for US$815.00 that is in Mint condition--came with box, lens hood, and the original case---all in mint condition.
Bought from Japanese seller on eBay )Originally sold for $2250.00 when new back around 2008. I can use it on my old Sony a77m2 and on my Sony a66 with the EA5 adapter which retains full functionality. I LOVE it. the images are incredible.
So Henry is correct. Those of us who are just casual amateurs do not need to spend a fortune to get stellar images.
The black and white conversion was very interesting to see. What a great one!
That's the exact conclusion I came to, Nikon Z7II 24-200, 14-30. I primarily do landscape and nature. I teach all my students the same thing for landscapes if you're using the wide end at 24mm you're not shooting wide open, you most likely going to be at F11 or F16 or focus stacking using F8 where the lens is at its best. In addition even the "holy trinity of 2.8 lens" fall off their max sharpness at F11 or F16 anyway to the difference is typically marginal. Teaching proper technique and composition is much more important than spending big money on lens most of the time.
Thank you for the video. As an amateur I use my 24-200 all the time. Very versatile and takes beautiful pictures. Keep up the good work and thanks for the inspiration. Your enthusiasm is contagious.
Nice set Henry. I totally agree regarding your 24-200. I have the same lens, which is used primarily on my Z5, which together with a travel tripod and a lighter bag for my travel kit. I have to say that it is a joy to carry around such a light bag compared to my normal kit for my Z7ii. I'm also trying a variable ND, with a built in CPL to avoid having to carry my filters as well. Jury still out on that at the moment. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely stunning images again Henry, love the black and white especially. My favourite lens has to be my 18-200mm it just does everything.
Great images as always and I 100% agree with you on all those points.
I guess the only reason I still lug around my 24-70 & 70-200 2.8 lens is because I occasionally shoot portraits too (mostly my kids). If exclusively was shooting landscapes I would trade down for weight saving without a second thought. Weight is so important when hiking and wild camping, especially as you get older 🤣
Thank you. All the best. 👍📷😎
Excellent images and a great video as always 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So pleased I watched this. I also walk a lot and have a Sony 24-240 lens that I use all the time. I was considering changing to a ‘better’ model but now I’ll stick because, like you, I think it’s a brilliant focal range for taking anywhere
Finally a full time photographer that agrees with 90% of us hobbyists, in that a versatile lens is affordable, functional, and yet still acceptably sharp. I often use the Tamron 18-200 f3.5/F6.3, and have been very pleased with it. I am looking to possibly replace this with a Canon 24-105L F4. Love your videos and especially your enthusiasm. Keep up the great work.
When you say 'acceptably sharp', do you mean 'not as sharp as I would like it'?
Spot on!
Another fine video with wonderful images Henry, I don’t think I need to say more as it has already been said in all the comments previously, a great subject that most photographers surely agree with you on. Thanks again Henry for an enjoyable 20 mins of veiwing 😁👍
Excellent video. Your work convinced me to purchase the Z 24-200mm f4. It should arrive Monday. I found it interesting that many who raved about it when it debuted treat it like a second class lens now. But I see too many stunning results online. I also agree with many who say anyone can achieve tack sharp images with a “kit lens” if they learn their basic camera skills. I’m fortunate to have learned photography with a 35mm rangefinder and an SLR with no auto functions.
Preach brother! My first DSLR I had a 24-200mm and no other lens. Prior to it (and still) I carried the flag for the ultra zoom/bridge cameras as the ultimate do it all travel camera which influenced my decision on the single lens. So many of your point resonate with me. I’ve switched to micro 4/3 and now have two lenses. I was out shooting a couple days ago and had the same angst you do as I was changing to my lenses as I don’t have the same single lens. I do long for both the lenses in 1.
I totally agree! Changing lenses is the worst! I switched to using two cameras each with a lens attached. It’s not only faster to just switch to the other camera instead of switching lenses, but the fact that IS faster and less of a hassle, it means that I don’t walk past and ignore as many compositions that I can’t be bothered switching lenses for, you know what I mean?
I did the same with my Nikon kit. I had the 10-20 Sigma on my d7200 and the 70-300 Nikon on my d5300. I just did not want to be swapping lenses at all outside. My Canon kit is similar with 24-105 on my 6dii and the 100-400 on my 7dii. I have other lenses but those are my standard choices.
wow what a beautifull mountain
Thanks again Henry for sharing your experience with great comments....yes I agree with Jill as I am only a hobbyist & can't afford expensive lenses for my s/h Nikon D500 camera....I just purchased a 55-200mm lens for $100 (au) and love using it for the images...I also have a 12-24mm Tokina lens for wide shots (paid $150) ....if the lenses did break or malfunction I would just replace with another s/h lens .... cheers from Australia 😀
I love my 24-200. I got it as a kit with my Z5 and kept it when I sold the 5 and got a Z6ii a couple months ago. It’s on my camera about 95% of the time. My only other lens is my wide 20mm prime I treated myself to last year. Got it for wide interior stuff and planning on dipping my toe into the Milky Way/Astro world this summer.
LOVE my z 24-200mm w/ my Z6II. I primarily shoot cityscapes and streets, occasionally nature landscapes. I call this lens my "reconnaissance" lens. I use it when I travel to a new city for the first day. PERFECT lens for walk-around, go wide for a full view of a building/structure, or go tight in for a detail shot of the same building. I got it paired with the z 28-75mm f/2.8, I call it my "3.5 in 1 prime lens" (25mm, 35mm, 50mm, *75mm lol) which I use for street isolated subjects, night-street, and videography lens. Pack super LIGHT with just these 2 lenses for travel, love the setup.
Great honest video of all round lenses 👍
Your enthusiasm is contagious. I agree for landscape f/2.8 is totally not needed a waist. It's a waist of aperture/weight when shooting f/8 or higher.
If concerned about weight (which I am), I still see no issue carrying, a 24mm, 50mm prime. I have experienced the NiftyFifty at f/8, the sharpness is just unparalleled.
My perfect kit would be an ultra wide, 24mm, 50mm, and a 70-200mm f/4.5 to something. But maybe the Nikon is just that good quality wise.
Keep it up!!
What an opening shot Henry! The pano was good and your own critique was spot on, I was willing you to get tighter on the foreground. The last image for me looking down into Wasdale was the pick of the bunch and just showed how versatile that lens is.
Another great video Henry, and some good pictures. I like the waterfall picture you took with your drone, in my opinion I think it would look good in black & white. Look forward to your next video.
I have a Nikon d7500 and have a hard time taking off the 18 to 140 stock pack lens, it may not be the best lens in the world but I get so much joy from the photos I take with it, with you 100% HT, it's not the gesr, it's the experience and the user 👊👊
So good❤
the 24-200 isnt to be sniffed at at alomost 650-750 used its a good lens and youve had very good shots with it
I have the 24-70 2.8 and the 70 - 200 2.8 + the 20 mm 1.8 in my 50 l bag and I live it! It is cool to Focus in the Blue Hour….
Love it….
I agree with you bro 👍
Beautiful images Henry and it looked like it was a good hike! Weight on your back would be a factor when doing the long hikes! The image quality can't be that bad when your printing them and selling them. Keep up the fantastic content 📷❤️ That 24-200mm lens is a beauty!
Inspired video, well done
Just picked up the Tamron 28-200 for Sony. It has quite a bit of purple fringing, which I can fix in Lightroom about 90% of the time. It is pretty sharp, except in the far corners. I wish Sony would update their 24-240, but in the meantime the 16-35 GM and 28-200 is an amazing walkabout combination in a small, easily accessible, 7L shoulder bag. Alternatively, I have my eye on a 20-70 and 70-200 combination, but I also don’t like changing lenses. And a 70mm crossover seems like that would happen quite frequently.
I am the same, got the Sony A7III and I have the Tamron 28-200 on it 90% of the time, I just carry the Canon 17-40L on some occasions. Great Video as always 🙂
Fabulous selection of images this week Henry, especially loved the final image. The lens is certainly serving you well as your images week in week out is testament to that. I recently bought a 100 - 400mm lens and whilst I love the additional reach, I need to think about when to take it out as weight is certainly factor when I am using it.
sold the 100-400 as like you the weight was a big factor and ended up sitting on the shelf
That 24-200 is a great lens for landscapes, we shoot mostly around f8-11, so much lighter so can walk further, less expensive and 1 lens covers full range. Have often thought should I get an f2.8 but like you, there really is no need.
A lot of good points regarding the lenses, Henry. For the record, I always look at your images and find them to be beautiful and crisp, and instructive, because you're always explaining your thought processes. *Never* have I thought the image quality was poor. When I looked to change my system, I quickly learnt that the extra cost of "pro" lenses was tied to wider maximum apertures, and I suspect this might also be the case with your 24-200 lens - the ones you mentioned were a couple of stops "faster" than yours. Pixel-peepers can go their own way, and probably will, though it won't necessarily be forwards. Their lens isn't going to find a composition for them. By the way, I think you might be one of the few people in the world who knows the difference between "less" and "fewer"!😄
Fantastic video again Henry, just love them. Could I just ask what boots you have now look great.
Loved your vlog Henry ! We are visiting Wales (Snowdonia) in october this year. Your vlogs help me to take even better photo's Thanx for that ! Greetz from Jeroen from the Netherlands.
I have the 24-70 and 70-200 2.8 lenses and I bought the 24-200 because I like your results with it. The 2.8 lenses are great and I use them for portrait work, but the 24-200 has become my landscape lens for all the reasons you mentioned. I’ll never hike again with those 2.8s. BTW I picked it up used for $620 US.
Hi Henry, I tend to agree with you that the first pano with the rocks in the foreground does tend to draw the eye. But still an excellent shot, as always. See you on the next adventure.
Henry, I love that last image and also the panorama! You could have been in the mountains of Switzerland or Austria as well with such pictures, gorgeous! And I think the 24-200 looks like a great lens and you always take amazing pictures with it. I don't think I can tell the difference in quality with some other photographers here on RUclips, also not with those that do use the 70-200 F2.8. I just bought the 55-300 this week and I can't wait to start using it. I thought I would have to wait a while to get it, but at once there it was on a website for used products for a very good price! So now I have the 17-55 F2.8 (which is very heavy, that is a bit a downer on that one) and the 55-300, I think that is a nice combination! Yeah, and the 50mm 1.8 but I never use that one, somehow I just don't like not being able to zoom!
Good Job Bro 👍👍👍
I love my Sigma 18-300 !!
FTZ with Nikon 28-300 VR does me , but I have Z6 but it does work really well and kinda tracks wildlife well considering it's a Nikon without eye detect 🤣🤣
I use the crop sensor Z50 with the 18-140mm lens for the very reasons you're using your 24-200mm. Fantastic focal range for landscapes!
You're one of the reasons that I looked at the Z7 and 24-200mm. I can't see myself using anything different!
Excellent video as usual. Just a question, how many actual photos would you take n a trip like this? I know you mentioned you get 3or 4 great shots (and show them) but do you take many more to get those quality shots so you can choose the best ones etc , how many on average? Love you videos Henry , very inspiring.
Btw I purchased a new Z5 with the 24-70 mm F4 which is about half the price of the F2.8 and I love the quality it gives 👌
it's very much about individual needs and ways of working. A single lens, lightweight set makes sense when hiking in the mountains, and most shots would be taken at f/8 to f/16, so it doesn't matter if you don't have f/2.8 or bigger. Today's lenses are usually very good irrespective of price at those mid range apertures. This type of lens isn't for me though. On the margins of my landscape photography I enjoy wildlife photography, astro-landscape photography, where low light performance is important, as well as good weather-sealing. 200mm isn't long enough for wildlife or birding, and 24mm at f/4 wouldn't suit the nightscape work. I also like to photograph my dogs, who are very active, so having a lens that is decent for handheld portraits comes in handy. So I have three lenses, 20mm f/1.4, 24-70mm f/2.8 and 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 which covers almost all landscape scenarios as well as these marginal interests. If I went for a long walk in the hills, I'd only take the 24-70mm which covers most of my landscape photography needs. Your videography is fantastic by the way, and keeps improving!!!
I will admit to looking at refurbished Cannon lenses in a price range near my skill set. They are there for the purchase of valuable freedom to focus on composition. In time, yes, I may upgrade. I work only to please myself.
Then, at 13:37 the juxtaposition of textures is a powerful voice of nature. You captured a chorus of shouts from the boulders clutching the sky and frozen in stone's own composition. There's harmony there pulling at me... I went back five times to be sure! If nature put up her Stonehenge those lichen and moss crested boulders rise from tufts of emerald carpet forever. Yep.
Sold! I'd put it on my wall any day! "And the Stones Shall Speak the Wisdom of Time" on a brass plate at the bottom of the mahogany frame.
Love your videos, learning so much. One question that has nothing to do with photography, what trousers do you wear for hiking lol
Another great video Mr Turner. Thank you for highlighting the bargains you can get without breaking the bank. I have a D800. I thought, "hmm, I'll buy a lens to cover all aspects". SO, I bought a Tamrom 18-400mm "do everything" lens. It was very expensive for me. It was the most disappointing thing I have ever bought photography wise. Chromatic aberration was off the scale amongst other things. I got rid of it, to MPB who gave me a very good price. In its place, for my D800, I bought a very well priced Nikon 28-300mm, excellent condition, 2nd hand lens, now affixed to the D800. This lens is incredible. a real beauty. I also bought a Nikon D7100, in excellent condition, as a backup, spare. It had a Nikon 50mm prime affixed to it. The D7100 with the lens attached in addition to the Nikon 28-300mm attached to my D800 cost LESS than the Tamron 18-400 did. Yes, I now carry two cameras in my pack, extra weight. But at any time, I have two cameras ready to go, no switching lenses.
Lovely pics and I share your opinion regarding the versatility regarding all purpose lenses. I own this lens and it has become my go to lens paired with my Nikon Z6.
Thanks Henry I've been in the market for a new 'better than my kit lens' lens, I think that kind of range of would give me far more options ...great video as always 👍
Love the images and the 24-200 recommendation , i am a canon user and bout a second hand 24-105 and find that a great all round lens , on another subject I noticed a few shots of the feet looking all comfy in the new boots how are they bedding in , are you happy with them,
Nice lens. I'd like to eventually pick up a all purpose zoom myself for when I want to travel lighter. I shoot with a Canon full frame and currently carry three lenses, a Tamron 20-40mm f2.7-3.5, a Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 (my favorite lens) and a Tamron 75-300mm f4-5.6. A good 20-200mm would be a nice addition.
Nikon proved that moving over to a completely new lens mount is going to allow them to introduce a new generation of lenses with never before seen quality and performance. I had used the 18-200 with my D300S and never thought highly about its image quality; versatility yes, but not image quality. This Z24-200 is a different ball game all together
Have I told you how much I love you recently? Just don't tell the wife 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😘
I have just upgraded from my old D3000 and the 35-80mm f4 D lens to a D300s with an 18-55 and a sigma 70 -210mm f4 and a Manfrotto tripod 144 pro tripod, various filters and cpl 's and a Jack Wolfskin camera rucksack.
I have even got the wife a D40 with the 18-55 & 55-200 kit lens, and she loves it.
I agree though, a Dx 18-200 would be great and is on my list for summer, an 18-300 ooh sir.
Henry Turner, I have the same lens on my Nikon Z5 and it is very sharp and as you said lightweight. I got a good deal in the US almost new around $642.00 US dollars from KEH and a used Z5 for
$810 dollars from B&H camera. I see the images you take with that lens and Z7 combo and they are fantastic? I like the pano at the top of the mountain excellent shot. Have a good one Cheers.
Hi Henry, another grand day out and thanks for sharing. As one with short arms and deep pockets I have to stick with the "value range" of lenses. I must say I do like lenses with metal mount, but I guess that's just a bit of a fad really. I too have a more than mild paranoia about changing lenses in the outdoors for fear of the weather getting to the sensor, so I'm with you there. Regarding weight, I have heard it said that the micro 4/3 equipment can be better for those that do mountaineering due to it being more compact, and I guess the overall compromise for weight will likely see me stay in the APSC size gear ... unless I get a lottery win and can employ a team of Sherpas to carry my then GFX100S emporium up hill and down dale. Sadly, I nearly always have more demands for money than I have money!. What you did sort of emphasise ( and it is oh so true ) that you don't need to sell a kidney to be able to make great images, provided you have enthusiasm, patience and skill ... all of which you have in abundance! More great images again, thanks!
A few years ago I had the 18-300 for my Nikon. Having little kids at the time and not having to change lenses and haul a camera bag plus all the kid stuff was amazing. That lens basically reignited my photography passion. It did everything but wasn’t sharp at 300mm unfortunately.
