there are a few misconceptions need correction.
1, "need a superzoom for travelling"
Thank you heaps for the detailed and thoughtful insights, much appreciated!
I know, with experiences and skills, people may always find and recommend to new comers: you don't need this and that, it's a waste, not worth while, stay with simple things, you'll be surprised how enough they're for your purpose already... and I do come to realize within super zoom lenses range, I probably am not going to find anything with better IQ than any of mine existing ones already: 18-55, 55-250, or 50 f1.8.
Probably I've just been stubborn, it's just during my last trip, I found that using an 18-55 isn't enough at all. Let's say, there is a beautifully carved roof sculpture, by roof we normally mean it will be 1 to 2 stories above the ground or even higher, then with 18-55, I just can't get a close up. I had to change to 55-250, annoying, and inconvenient... I'd doubt a 17-85... probably aren't enough for that distance at all...
eg. a friend jumped on a boat or run far away from me already, thought it's a good time to take a photo, yet unless I run after the friend, bring the distance closer, I won't be able to fast and efficiently take a photo... annoying truly...; or @ one scenery location, but seen something nice not far away, however it's another park, have to walk hours to the entrance, get out, and then go to the other side... no time... just want to photograph what I've seen now, again, zoom not enough, how frustrating. Change a lens? or give up? These are the reasons why I wanted or to say, still wanting a super zoom lens (being let down a lot while I'm searching for a super zoom lens, actually do start to think maybe shouldn't get one, haha~~~).
So meanwhile I do find, a super zoom lens would make my life easier.
I know I need to compromise a lot on IQ and focus speed and even IS, but just felt I need that zoom range...
And if it's a reasonable compromise, honestly, I may not tell the difference, after all, I'm just an amateur, might not see the IQ as what professional see, or serious IQ fans see.
I need reasonable photo, good @ standard printing size, won't see shaking edges, blurry ghost etc on my photo. A4 probably will be the maximum size I'd ever print out. I suppose with the smaller printing size, and "travel use quality" constraint, maybe a super zoom lens won't provide disappointing quality? May satisfy my need for convenience and IQ?
If I've got wrong here, please let me know.
And thanks again for your help, really have learned a lot from your advise, and will keep the lenses you recommended in mind, maybe as a replacement for my kit lens 18-55 sometimes when needed to upgrade IQ? |
