Track to Mt Hobwee circuit / Mt Wagawn at Binna Burra, Lamington national park
Fuji X-E1 & XF18-55mm; F5.6, iso 1600, 1/30 sec
I did some math today on lenses and cameras. It turned out that two Fuji X-E1 equipped with Fujinon XF10-24mm and XF55-200mm lenses have the same weight as Olympus E-30 with ZUIKO 50-200mm SWD. ZUIKO 50-200mm was my favorite lens for a very long time. In addition to the lens and E-30 I usually carried a sturdy tripod. With Fuji I can use a small "digital" tripod.
I did the math because of my last trip to a national park. It was cloudy, and it was fairly dark in the rainforest. Most of pictures during this trip were taken at high ISO and open aperture. Very often I hit 18mm (~28mm eqv) limit on XF18-55mm lens. In this situation XF10-24mm lens will be very useful.
I have not read much about XF10-24mm because of the price. The $200 cashback offer from Fuji changes the situation.
