Jim, I do have the Samyang 18-28, which I will probably end up taking. I
wanted to use all primes to try to avoid lens flare, but I'll have to use
some other means of shading the lens, like a hat, and try to keep the sun
out of the picture.
So sorry to hear about the unemployment of yourself, and all the ones on the
list facing the same challenge.
