3 Lenses I always Travel with - Here’s why
Embarking on a journey often brings the unsettling thought of leaving behind a crucial piece of gear, potentially missing out on capturing that perfect moment. Having travelled to numerous destinations, I have honed my selection to three lenses that perfectly complement my Fujifilm cameras. Join me as I delve into the reasons why these lenses have become my trusted companions.
A Traveler's Essential Trio
1. TTArtisans 27mm f/2.8: The Pocket Dynamo Sent to me by TTArtisans for review, the 27mm f/2.8 lens has managed to exceed my expectations. What sets it apart is not only its affordability but also its compact size and distinctive character. The pancake-like dimensions make it a travel essential, ensuring it never leaves my camera bag. Its versatility in capturing various scenes with flair adds a unique touch to my travel photography.
2. Fujinon 35mm f/2: A Street Photographer's Dream Amidst the buzz surrounding the 35mm f/2, there lies a reason for its popularity. After experimenting with the kit lens that came with my X-T3, the 35mm f/2 became my next acquisition. Having experienced its prowess on my sister's X-T1, I knew it was a must-have for my X-T3. The sharpness of this lens is serious and it seamlessly pairs with my X Pro 3, making it a dream for street photography—an ideal companion for the wandering traveler.
3.Sigma 56mm f/1.4: 2023's Favourite Lens Crowned as my favourite lens of 2023, the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 stands out among the array of Sigma lenses. Its allure lies not only in its affordability but also its compact design, making it a worthy alternative to Fujifilm's 56mm f/1.2. Despite being not as fast and lacking an aperture ring, the advantages outweigh these minor drawbacks. The cost-effectiveness and portability of this lens make it an indispensable tool for capturing moments on the go.
In Conclusion:
In the vast landscape of lens options, these three have become my steadfast companions during my travels. Each lens adds a unique dimension to my photography, allowing me to adapt to diverse settings and scenes. The TTArtisans 27mm f/2.8, Fujinon 35mm f/2, and Sigma 56mm f/1.4 collectively contribute to an arsenal that ensures I am always ready to encapsulate the essence of my journey. As a traveler, having the right lenses at hand is not just a luxury; it's a necessity, and these lenses have proven their worth time and again, enriching my visual chronicles with each click of the shutter.
