[QUOTE="panos_adgr, post: 5499, member: 12"] The only lens I have 3rd party is the Tamron 15-30mm the rest are vintage lenses and I own them mostly because of their 'character' and bokeh. My basic lenses are nikkor. But I will not hesitate to buy a 3rd party. In example the Tamron 15-30mm G2 is better in many aspects than the nikkor 14-24mm. It has image stabilization where the nikkor hasn't. It has also excellent optics as the nikkor and the price is significantly lower.... This is why I'm interested in the Tamron 70-200mm g2 as well. It is a top level lens and costs 1450€ while the nikkor is 2700.... There is no point to go for the nikkor.... Tamron is a very serious brand and it also makes rebranded lenses (for sony and nikon) I'm interested in high quality lenses but I also think of the budget. 5 years ago I entered full flame system and one year ago I went full frame only. It is a very expensive system in comparison with APSC i previously owned but the quality in absolutely amazing. So I try to build my system with caution, lot of research, comparisons and patience. In example the Nikkor AF-S 24-120mm F/4.0 VR costs 1100€ in local market. But I found one brand new (sold as bulk after a kit separation) with half price! So I first try to see which is the best lens choice for what I want, then I examine which lens is the best and then I check the budget. My next buy is either a Nikkor 200-500mm or a Tamron 70-200mm G2. Both are near in retail price. So it depends which one I will find in a good sale - price. The 70-200mm is preferable for the image quality and the Nikkor 200-500mm for the extra reach. So it has to with a multi factor choice at the end of the day. My go to lenses are Nikkors and Tamrons. The rest are 'fun' lenses or lenses for special cases, like the Helios with which I've done great close up. abstracts Every gear choice is carefully studied. It might take me months. It is the same with drones. I had been looking for quite some time until I lock in my mind as a potential the DJI mavic 3 pro. And the reason was the larger possible sensor I can afford for aerial photography with maximum sensor latitude for my style of photography.It is also the reason I migrated to full frame (and I'm finally happy). I wouldn't invest in 1'' sensors. If I buy a drone it will be the Dji mavic 3 pro (fly more edition) and nothi9ng else for the moment. But it isn't a priority. I also have other hobbies like Hi Fii system turntables, loudspeakers etc and the last 2 years I have also invested in this hobby as well. So I try to keep a balance. Photography and music go together in my life. 😉 P.S. Your drone videos are wonderful! Well done Jack! Lovely colors, great sceneries! [/QUOTE]
