Ideas for blog – since you have just come from a major shooting experience…<\/span><\/p>\n Carl Turner<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What lenses did you use most? \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 18-135 80% of the time. \u00a0 10-24 \u00a015% of the time, the other 5% split between the 16mm f 1.4 and the 90mm f 2, sorry\u00a0use the 100-400 a couple\u00a0of times, 1% \u00a0 \u00a0I know that’s 101%<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What lenses did students use most?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I would say 24-70 equiv. 75% \u00a0 70-200 equiv. 10% \u00a0 Super wide zooms 10%<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What lenses were most “fun”?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I love the 16mm f 1.4 and the 90mm f 2 shot wide open, and the 18-135 is just so handy and so sharp and\u00a0the OIS works great. \u00a0The 10-24 is the bomb when \u00a0you need\u00a0to go that wide\u00a0and the 14mm f 2.8 is tack tack sharp, but\u00a0then all of them are!!!! \u00a0Can\u00a0you all tell I’m having fun!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I personally love:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The 90mm f 2, just so great a lens, and feels wonderful in your hands!!! \u00a0The images are just something special, it is my\u00a0favorite lens, but a 135mm f 2 does not fit every\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong>situation!!!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Any lenses surprised you? If any?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’m pretty familiar with all these lenses, but the 100-400 continue to\u00a0amaze me, when you\u00a0consider that at 600mm it is\u00a0only one stop slower\u00a0than Nikon’s 600mm f 4 and is pretty close to just as\u00a0sharp wide open and the cost\u00a0difference is nearly ten grand, it is an amazing piece of glass at a\u00a0bargain price.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What lens would you never leave home without?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The 18-135, without a doubt. \u00a0I use it so much I’m\u00a0considering\u00a0buying\u00a0another just as a back-up, just in case, can’t imagine\u00a0being out there without it!!!!! \u00a0I wasn’t even going to buy one\u00a0until Mike Roberts loaned me his, in 15 minutes I was hooked, had one ordered that night!!!! \u00a0Thanks Mike!!!!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n What did you shoot the top 5 photos with?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I haven’t decided what my top five are yet, I know one was the old Hudson the two tepees in Monochrome that was the 10-24, I loved the Watson Bar B Q sign as an American flag that was the 18-135, several images in the motorcycle museum were favorites they were with the 16mm f 1.4 both at 1.4 and stopped down to f 16, that lens is sharp through the whole range of apertures. \u00a0One image of\u00a0folding hills\u00a0is one instance I made great use of the long end of the 100-400. \u00a0I will come\u00a0back to this\u00a0question after I do more looking at the 17 day take!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There you go!!!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Blessings,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n the pilgrim<\/p>\n <\/p>\n …..and thanks Carl, for asking!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Old truck 18-135 Ideas for blog – since you have just come from a major shooting experience… Carl Turner What lenses did you use most? \u00a0 18-135 80% of the time. \u00a0 10-24 \u00a015% of the time, the other 5% split between the 16mm f 1.4 and the 90mm f 2, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chronicles"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17066"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17066\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17084,"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17066\/revisions\/17084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
