RogerRogerATX Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Went to Northern Norway recently, rented the Tamron 35-150 and a backup APS-C body (which I didn't need fortunately). The lens was nice but just can't see myself using it on the regular. But what happened was the majority of my pics were of the Northern Lights, and I found myself needing something wider than 16/17mm! Still kicking myself for not renting the 12-24/2.8 instead of the 35-150. (side note, I also thought I would need a telephoto for Orcas but since I got a RIB tour, the 35-150 was perfect for it)Ever have that happen?

TrekRover Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 That is a beautiful shot, Roger! That scenario happens to me quite often when I'm traveling and I decide to leave one lens back at the hotel and go light with just the 24-70mm and I'm like, "Doh! Should have brought the 12-24mm!"

Drew_Geraci Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I think we've all been there before! There are a bunch of lenses I rarely use but when I need them I'm glad that I have them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LensBrew Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Same here as everyone. I do my best to get some great compositions with what I have though, to ease the pain. Then when I get home, I have an excuse to come back to the same place on another trip.But sometimes it's not a lens, it might be a better tripod, a higher megapixel body, or a photographers worst nightmare: an extra battery or a memory card.

alpha-stormy Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 We have all had that moment where we kick ourselves for forgetting something or not trying something on site. But, the great way to look at it is that you learned and can always go back. Beautiful work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha-Van Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 The more lenses you buy, the higher chances that you'll second-guess what you've brought along! Been there, too. So, I've resorted to packing ANOTHER CAMERA! 😁 In more than a handful of situations, I've been saved by bringing along an RX100 or RX10 camera to "supplement" my Alpha. The images out of these compact CyberShots is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
