How do you decide what to actually put in your camera bag? Any suggestions as
to what would be best to actually carry around for street photography and/or
travel snapshot type photography? (To fit in a Domke medium size or small bag
for example, assuming you either have or are looking to put together such
combination of lenses?)
28, 35-70 zoom and 75-150 zoom?
28, 35, 65-200 zoom? (have you seen this lens, it is too big, if you point it
at someone set at 70mm they will think you are shooting close-up at 200! It
is intimidating and attention drawing.)
28, 35, 50, 100 (adding 200mm if anticipated to be needed)?
28, 35, 80, 135?
35, 80 (go simplistic)?
I think 35-70 zoom and 75-150 zoom may be the best combination, but then
the optical benefits (if any) of the single focal lengths sit at home
unused
assuming you have some single focal lengths.
Maybe the 35-105, is the best solution, but I havent seen one of these yet.
Third party brand of lens-- such as 39-80 Sigma or 70-150mm Vivitar 3.8 (so
you can bang them around without fear of loss or damage to an OM lens that may
sit at home collecting dust?)
The least useful lens to carry seems to be the 50mm, unless one needs it for
low light conditions and one does not have 35, 80 or 100 f2's (or one only
wants to carry one lens and for some reason wouldnt rather have a 35mm.)
(I am leaving out 24mm because I dont have one yet!)
