    I use a D850 with a 24-70 for 80% of my shots. Great choice you made. It is nice to have the zoom of a 70 and the wide angle as well.

      @adrianalfordphotography  5 лет назад

      Thanks Tim. The D850 is just soooo good isn't it. Can't see myself parting with it anytime soon. The 24-70mm 2.8 pretty much covers everything, including, product, landscape, astro, portrait etc. If I could have only one lens, that'd be it.

      Thanks very much for watching. Tough choice, so many great lenses. It really depends on the type of photography you're doing. The 24-70mm is just a good all rounder.

    Hello Adrian, can you please compare between 14-24 f2.8 and 16-35 f4.
    Thanks,
    Arvind

      Good idea. I will schedule that in and do that one for you, but it won't be for a while as I have a backlog of RUclips videos to edit and get out. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Super perspective on a single travel lens. Shooting Canon R5. Beautiful, RF 24- 70mm f2.8, is my choice for a single lens too. However, heading to Sicily, Liguria then Venice before ending in Rome (full month). Finding myself wanting a little more pull to capture unique landscape images at distance. I hear so many great things about the compactness, lightness (just under 700g) and quality of image from the RF 70- 200mm f4, I am wondering if I will regret not purchasing and bringing it along as a second. Weight is always an issue when traveling abroad. Your thoughts? Have you ever had regrets leaving something home?

      Hi Blane - I don't know if you got my last reply? Having issues with the net here. In brief I said I think you've got it on spot on! Well done. The 70-200mm F4 Canon is a superb travel lens and will be the perfect accompaniment to the 24-70mm. It's light weight too. Do love that Canon R5. Safe travels.

    I’m searching for a nikon 24-70 f2.8.. but seeing there are different types. Is there a letter after the f2.8 after the one you recommend? New to photography and just purchased a Nikon d850

    • @adrianalfordphotography
      @adrianalfordphotography  2 года назад

      Hi Amber - I'm not too sure if Nikon are still making the version 24-70mm F2.8 in this video? If they are, search for Nikon AF-S 24-70mm F2.8G lens. You may be able to pick one up cheaply second hand. Nikon now make the same lens only with VR (vibration reduction) on it. It's bigger, heavier and more expensive, hence why I don't think it has sold too well. Another lens you may want to look at as a good all rounder is the Nikon 24-120mm F4 F mount lens. www.digidirect.com.au/nikon-af-s-24-120mm-f-4g-vr-if-ed-lens?gclid=Cj0KCQjwgO2XBhCaARIsANrW2X3loH-Vvgoa41XnOpU_7kPHtVbddgo9x_DRekpKKSuoeozzCeFEUSUaAlfJEALw_wcB

    Would the 24 - 120mm f4 for be a good choice for travel (using D850)?

    • @adrianalfordphotography
      @adrianalfordphotography  4 года назад

      It all depends on the type photography you're going to do. Personally, it would not suit me as I find the F2.8 far more useful in all types of lighting, than having extra zoom reach. If you were doing mainly sight seeing during the day and doing outdoor daylight type photography then yes, the 24-120mm F4 would be perfect.

      @jwalker1332 4 года назад

      @@adrianalfordphotography A dilemma indeed.
      I have seen a few ideas on RUclips- tours included. I have a D850 with 14 - 24mm f2.8, 80 - 200mm f2.8 and a Tamron G2 24 - 70mm f2.8.
      I am happy with this gear but it is heavy and if in my bag as carry on luggage it is at about 11kg.
      As you said sacrificing the f2.8 is a tough compromise.
      Thanks Adrian for your feedback.

      You can, however it is a DX lens. I prefer using the FX lenses on the D850. I would use something like the Nikon 24-120mm f4 G VR lens instead.

    Greetings, heading to 6 countries, and passing through the Panama Canal, too. I had planned on taking all my good lenses, which include most of what you showed in this video. I shoot a Nikon D750 and love it! Lenses were going to be: 50mm f1.8; 14-24 f2.8G; F24-70 f2.8G, and 70-200 F2.8E FL. In the end, I may still take them all, "just because". But, your reasons for knocking down to the 24-70 are sound, and I will definitely consider your comments. Thank you for the very well-reasoned commentary, and solid decisions!!! Take care, and God Bless!

    Nikon glass is fantastic. Hopefully they can become more popular again in the future. I traded my D5600 for a Panasonic GH5 because I'm more focused on video. If the Nikon had a DSLR or mirrorless with great video options and a flipscreen, I wouldn't have bought the GH5. Thanks for making this video.

    • @adrianalfordphotography
      @adrianalfordphotography  5 лет назад +1

      Thanks so much for watching. Awesome camera that GH5. Brilliant for video. Nikon have started with the Z6 and Z7 cameras, but I still believe they have a bit more to go to catch Sony and Canon video wise (and a flip screen). I'm excited to see the next generation Nikon Z cameras because they would have ironed out some of the little bugs with the first gen cameras. Cheers!

    • @adrianalfordphotography
      @adrianalfordphotography  5 лет назад +1

      Thanks so much for watching. I'd have to do some research into whether it made any difference getting either the Nikon or Tamron image quality wise. Then work out if the cost difference was worth it. If both put out the same image quality and were reliable and focused well. I'd go for the cheaper of the 2.
