Speaking of "go kit"... what about this one :
OM-4Ti
21/3.5 (thanks Tom !)
35/2
85/2
135/2.8 + Kiron 1.5x TC
Viv 2x macro TC
Extension tubes
T-20 + autoconnector + cable 0.6 or 2m + Omnibounce
B+W KR1.5 MRC filters on all lenses + one slim 49mm Heliopan circ polarizer.
The 135/2.8 + Kiron 1.5x gives me a 200/4 of sorts - even more
compact than the real 200/4 - qualitywise, I have not made a
comparison yet, but I guess this should be a pretty decent combo?
Things that could still make it into the bag (replacing other lenses):
Tamron 17/3.5
24/2.8 (but I think the 21/3.5 will replace the 17 + 24)
50/1.8 MIJ (but I prefer the larger FOV of the 35/2, and
luminosity-wise they are similar, with a lower minimal "secure" speed
for the 35 even because of the shorter focal length)
50/3.5
100/2.8 silvernose (but I prefer the f2 aperture of the 85)
180/2.8 (I like it; but it's big! If I take this one, I guess I'll
take the Kiron 1.5x TC but not the Viv 2x)
200/4 (doesn't feel very "stable" in my hands)
35-105/3.5-4.5 (great, but not very "luminous")
35-70/3.5-4.5 (not enough reach)
For now the first kit is preferred. No zoom... All in a nice, new Domke F6 bag.
BTW, I could never manage the use of 2 cameras with different lenses
(or films). It would be great, especially when taking no zoom. But it
always felt clumsy to me. I could never fit 2 cameras (with lenses
mounted) comfortably in a compact bag, and alternate between using
either one. How do you do this?
Everlasting "go kit" debate ... ;-) Always a pleasure. Opinions ?
