Lenses / 24mm ts-e with a polarizer?

« on: March 21, 2013, 02:43:34 PM »

I was lucky enough to acquire a 24mm ts-e for landscape work prior to a trip to Utah next month. I am curious if anyone has had good luck with a screw on polarizer for this lens or is the lens too wide to get nice results.  If you have had good luck, what polarizer do you recommend?  Any other advice for this lens is appreciated.  Thanks

PowerShot / A camera for backpacking into the wilderness...

« on: January 24, 2013, 02:41:35 PM »

On my past day hikes (up to 15 miles with elevation change) I have taken my 5D mark II with 2 lenses and ND filters to capture landscapes.  This year I am excited to take my young son on a multi-day backing trip to cover 30-35 miles.  Because of his age,  I will be carrying most of the camping gear, food, etc.  I do not think I will have room for my current set up, so I am looking for advice for the best next-best option to my dSLR.  My budget is about $1500, and I have looked into the Canon G1X, Fuji X-E1 with 18-55mm kit lens, Sony RX100, Sony Nex with ? lens, etc.  I have also considered taking my 5D mark II with only the 50mm f/1.4 attached, but I am worried about only having one focal length.  My priority is high image quality for stills/ landscapes.

I would appreciate any advice or experience from a similar situation.  I have attached one of my pics, so you can see what i like to shoot.
