i didn't have a choice for that one since that was the theme :lol: but yes, its refreshing although i'd still stick with my set up given a choice. there were times that day i wished i could go wider or a longer reach.

I'm starting a thread for all to share their street shoot set ups for both local and overseas trips. hopefully this will also help the new bros and sis to figure out what works for them, based on what they have (or may need to consider buying/ borrowing) on their maiden trips.

The structure may not be perfect, but contributors please try to stick to it, so that there's some order and easier for readers to follow. perhaps we can start an "equipping" series for other types of shoots like weddings, events, sports, concerts, fashion, modelling, macro etc ;)



category (local/ overseas):
Overseas

camera(s):
Sony A100
Sony A700

lens(es):
Any Super Wide Angle lens
28-70G
70-200G

bag(s):
Computrekker AW

accessories:
Benro Tripod
Lots of separate CF cards (I'm a raw shooter)
Extra Batteries
Complete Cleaning Kit

set up:
Wide Angle + A700 - Wide Angle Scenes
28-70G + A700 - Street, and or anything in between
70-200G + A100 - Portraits

rationale:
Shooting in RAW - I'm a control freak, so RAW gives me the digital negative so that I can work on the files with a lot of flexibility.

70-200G + A100
Should suffice for most portraits and close-ups, the speed of the SSM motor helps to overcome the short comings of the A100's own AF motor.

Wide Angle / 28-70G + A700
Provides more resolution for wide angle shots, which demand more detail resolving power.

At wide angle, I'd be shooting at much smaller apertures, like F8 to F11, the low light gathering strengths of the a700 body and built in high torque AF motor helps a lot in this regard as well - especially when dealing with slow focusing lenses like the 28-70G
