Hi Peety - I recently faced a similar decision re:24-70 or 16-35 and went with the 16-35 2.8 III over the 24-70 II as a landscape lens to have along. On my trip, I definitely needed wider than 24mm...
all swapped for the 16-35 III and a store credit for large prints etc
less than I asked, but since I had no offers here, I was happy to part with the kit and hopefully help a local business and a...
SOLD to a local camera shop (exchanged for a 16-35 2.8 III + print paper etc., less than I was asking for, but both sides seemed happy)

I'm late to this thread, but as I am reassessing my UWA needs as well, I thought I'd chip in.
For my own style of shooting, I find it difficult to combine a zoom for landscape with also using the...
What about my bluebird portrait? :(

Thanks Neuro - I use the camera custom settings (C1, C2, C3) while shooting volleyball to switch action and portrait type shot settings quickly but had not realized the potential you just revealed. I...
Just back on the site after a busy few weeks - beautiful shot Joel. The detail in the dark feathers is really nice. Any special tricks in processing?

Caught some hummers this weekend. Unfortunately, the males were too shy to approach the set-up (see below, 2X430EX, 1X580EX, camera mounted 600EX, all at 1/16 power + 5DMKIII w 300 2.8II...

Thanks Joel - I was very lucky to have a willing subject. The shot is non cropped w the 600 II at f4 on the 1DX. I wish I had another hour in this area to get better BIF shots of the eagles. I got a...
a few from recent Alaska trip:
189018911892
The other lenses I used a great deal were the 16-35 II and the 85 1.2 II. While I used the 300 2.8 II and the 24 TS II, I could have done OK w/o them. I was generally too busy and/or with a group to...
Thanks again for all the advice. A brief trip report in return:
Most used lens = 70-200 II, perfect for landscape from the ship. A few examples:
18811882
Second = 600 f4 II w and w/o 1.4X III...
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
The 85 is on my 'wish I could list' b/c it always brings out creative ideas and I can imagine great limited DOF portraits in interior locations on the ship. I...
I'm leaving soon for a 7 day cruise and some outings in Alaska and have a pretty good idea what I want to take, but would welcome some input. For context, I usually carry a ridiculous amount of kit...
