Choosing the Best Travel Lens: Modern Zooms vs. Vintage Glass
If you're traveling, you're taking a camera. And if you're taking a camera, then you're choosing a lens... or two, or three... to go with you. What do you do? Pack every lens you own, just in case? One or two zooms to cover the basics? Or a catch-all zoom like the Lumix 28-200mm f/4-7.1? Super lightweight, incredible range, but not the fastest. Perfect travel lens, right? Or, do you go old school? Pack something vintage, something with its own character, something all manual?
Modern Zoom Lenses: Convenience and Versatility
Modern zoom lenses like the Lumix 28-200mm f/4-7.1 are incredibly convenient for travel. They offer a broad range of focal lengths, allowing you to capture wide landscapes and zoom in on distant details without changing your lens. They're lightweight, making them ideal for travel when you want to pack light. However, while versatile, they often sacrifice speed, especially at longer focal lengths.
Pros of Modern Zoom Lenses:
Versatility: One lens can cover a wide range of focal lengths.
Convenience: No need to carry multiple lenses or change lenses frequently.
Lightweight: Easier to carry during long travel days.
Cons of Modern Zoom Lenses:
Speed: Not the fastest lenses, particularly at the long end of the zoom.
Character: Modern lenses can lack the unique characteristics that give photos a distinctive look.
Vintage Lenses: Character and Creativity
Vintage lenses bring a unique charm to your photos. With their manual focus and distinctive characteristics like vignetting, chromatic aberration, and specific bokeh shapes, vintage lenses can add a lot of personality to your images. The Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4 lens offers a beautiful focus falloff and a soft, halo-like blooming effect that modern lenses often can't replicate.
Pros of Vintage Lenses:
Character: Unique characteristics that add personality to your photos.
Build Quality: Often built to last with robust, metal constructions.
Creativity: Encourages more thoughtful and deliberate shooting.
Cons of Vintage Lenses:
Manual Focus: Requires more time and precision to focus.
Weight: Often heavier than modern lenses.
Limited Range: Typically prime lenses, so you might need to carry several to cover different focal lengths.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the best travel lens depends on what you're looking to achieve with your photography. Modern zoom lenses offer convenience and versatility, perfect for those who want a hassle-free shooting experience. On the other hand, vintage lenses bring a unique character to your photos, encouraging creativity and deliberate shooting.

This video was recorded months ago and I finally edited and published it - so, no, it’s no longer winter in Bratislava and Budapest 😅 But it was when I shot this!! Waddaya think? Vintage lenses FTW??
Living in the former empire of Kodak Inc. (Roch-cha-cha NY :^), I say vintage optics man. It's all just glass that, transmits and refracts light, metal coatings on all lens/air surfaces. The photons don't care and quite frankly neither do the sensors. As you say another tool in the tool chest, another color on the pallet for "expression".
Now Bratislava on the other hand, there's no substitute. It's the "real" deal. Hard to manufacture or make that up.
Team Vintage! 😅
Nice! I´m the kind of novice who takes all of his lenes whith him when traveling, only to end using 1 or 2 of them. I do have vintage lenses that easier to use now thanks to the focusing help one gets from newer cameras.
That shot with the column and the hot air balloon looked like a vintage postcard. Lovely pics.
Thank you 😌
Hedging my bets, Takumar 50 f1.4 AND 24-105 f4 lumix on the road again 😁🤷🏼♂️
Haha fair. The 24-105 is a great lens but it’s BIG. Personally I prefer smaller for travel.
@@photojoseph I usually do too…but seeing if one lens can do it all…save time not switching and sensor dust issues but give up beautiful renditions of faster apertures…
Would u have done anything different? I’m about to travel and I’m very excited but overwhelmed with what to bring
Honestly, no! This was a perfect combo. Going 35mm only if you want to carry just one lens is certainly a good choice, but I’m glad I had the two to swap between.
@@photojoseph I agree, did you bring anything else? I’m tempted to bring that everything zoom for the in between but it’s big snd heavy
@@photojoseph also did you miss autofocus
@@LouisLuzuka nope!
Well done, sir!
Thank you kindly!
I love this lens😮
They’re cheap on eBay!
(I have an affiliate search link in the description - start there)
Pls make a vedio on comparison Lumix S5iix vs Lumix Gh7 please
Very few differences other than sensor size. GH7 has timecode input and the fully articulating LCD. Um… that’s all I can think of off the top of my head. I’ll dig deeper though. Maybe it’s worth comparing. EDIT: oh yeah; ProRes raw ha ha that’s a big one. Also ArriLog support and 4K modes without cropping.
Is 1/4 strength enough or would u use 1/2 or 1/8 or even 1x?
For this lens the ¼ is enough. On clean lenses I think ½ could be good. 1 is too much, in my opinion.
@@photojoseph does focal length impact it, or does it have no difference? I have 1/8 and I barely see anything in my wide angle lenses
No, it shouldn’t. ⅛ is subtle. You’d really only see anything around direct points of light.
@@photojoseph ahh got it it’s kinda like anamorphic lens unless there’s a light source you can’t see the blue streak
@@photojoseph I tried 1/2 I find that it is amazing when you want a dreamy look 👀 but…. I find the auto focus hunts more
When you are using manual focus it shouldn’t be a problem tho! I might switch everything to 1/4 like you suggested !
💯❤❤❤❤❤💯
Haha glad you like it!
@@photojoseph yes sir, I was born and raised in Budapest and I been in Bratislava on the family vacation back in the early 1980's. I pretty sure you enjoyed your trip over there and you didn't miss out on the goulash and Langos, lol...
💯 really had some great food on that trip!
Nah just go 28-200 so you can get all ranges
Fair enough!
I only take my iphone with me. All the cameras are too heavy
I get it!
