A joy to watch your videos. Useful, clear, and illustrative as usual. Thank you so much! Not to mention your stunning photography thrown in with those examples, they evoke wanderlust on a high level. Not to mention gear lust for those who are not entirely covered in the lense range. :)

@AndyMumford 3 года назад

Thanks so much Arpad, really glad you enjoy the videos and find them useful. I actually think you can get by with just 2 zooms for most uses. I usually only take a wide angle zoom and a telephoto zoom with me on my trips

@saulsigalov 3 года назад

Thanks Andy, love your videos! Grateful to be a beginner photographer in today's day in age with individuals like yourself and other great youtubers sharing such valuable information. My challenge is knowing what lenses to bring. I love the xf 10-24 and 50-140, but sometimes the weight comes into question for those longer 20km+ hikes. I also own the 16-80mm but just bringing that 1 lens I always find I want to go a bit wider or a bit more tele. A constant struggle of gear and weight! It may just be practice with the mid range zoom to make photos that work. Just love the look of those ultra wide 3d images and, the tele compression look of mountains. Something about the mid range zoom always seemed a bit boring for me.

@AndyMumford 3 года назад

Thanks so much, glad you enjoy the channel. I'm the same as you, I don't find the mid range interesting at all and only carry a wide zoom and the tele zoom. I prefer the 55-200 though, as it's lighter and smaller, so I'm never tempted to leave it behind.

@ransackedroom 3 года назад

Second and third those comments that you've really hit upon a compelling way to teach a general truth with this video. 5:45 you introduce a handy rule of thumb for lens selection that I'd never considered before. Is this photograph about 1 thing, 2 things, or 3 things? I'd never thought to ask myself that question. I live in a beautiful city of seaside hills and fog (San Francisco), I own lovely gear, and I understand exposure. But my compositions are weak, often very weak, and "rule of thirds" only gets me so far. This video, the thought behind it, is just the change of mindset that can help people out of ruts. Thank you. More like this, please.
