max_wall Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 If you wanted to carry ONLY ONE lens (M6) to Disney World, what would be your choice, and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 28mm becuse you can get in close to a subject but still encompass the surroundings. My second choice would be a 24mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudsonphotos Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Steve votes twice for the 28. I would go wide angle also. I like to document the surroundings while on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsbc Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Because it will be nice and sunny, Tri-Elmar? But I think the 28mm summiron works best. Last time I was there, I used a 21mm much more than a 35mm because the latter simply wasn't wide enough (and I did not carry a 28mm with me).

albert_smith Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 I live in Florida and have been forced to take out-of-town family to the park more times than a person should be made to endure this punishment. I have gone every way from using a maximum amount of gear to a very minimalistic outfit of a Minox ML. For the last several trips, and on all future ones, I will use a 35mm lens as my only one. The previously mentioned 28mm might not be bad, but I don't have one, so I have no experience with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_r._fulton_jr. Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 one lens? 28 or 35 or 24. Whatta you got? I'd go wide as possible, but maybe not 21 (if you're only taking one lens). Hey--Disney World is a GREAT place to take pictures. For one thing every-other person has a camera so you can just shoot. Wide's nice cause you can get in close and capture the subject and the environment. My first choice for ONE lens would be a 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_. Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 If you're *sure* you're a whiz capturing skittering kids with fleeting expressions using a Leica (or your spouse will have an AF-something along)then I'd take a Tri-Elmar without a moment's hesitation. Me, I'm totally incapable of shooting kiddies well with a Leica and I'd swallow my Leica pride and bring my EOS with 28-135IS zoom...also less worry over a sudden Diet Coke shower or a flying ice-cream cone ;>) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackflesher Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 The 28 -- and in a heartbeat. You will be relatively close to large structures, and the extra breadth of the 28 over the 35 or 50 will be welcome. And assuming you also get over to Epcot, F2 will be welcome inside some of the exhibits. As a second alternative I would consider the 3-E.

cing_dao_kan Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 I also recommend the 28 focal length. On my last family trip there, that was all I really use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip_williams Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 28mm if you don't need to do face portraits. IMO, it does the best at capturing people and surroundings, as well as family shots at dinner, etc. I have a 28/1.9 CV that I'd take. I found that the Tri-Elmar was too hard to work with quickly because of the non-sequential focal lengths, but it's a great choice too. If you need quick zoom work, there's nothing like an SLR. If I went I'd probably take the 28 and a 50/2, along with a very small flash. That would fit in a very small belt bag. In fact, I'd probably throw the 21/4 CV lens in too, as it's SO small and light.

chip l. Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Another vote for the Tri Elmar if you are set on bring the Leica. Though something like the Ricoh G series would be ven nicer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete1 Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Well I live more than half way across the country and I still have been to D'World four times in two years. I took a Minox TLX on several trips but decided next time I'm going to take my Noctilux and that's it. There are many amazing scenes at night and I want the speed. If I could get a V'Lander 35/1.2, I would take that instead. Actually, I think I will buy one just for my next trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl smith Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 my 35mm was attached to an Olympus Stylus Epic. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
