[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 276228, member: 13090"] There comes a time when you have to stop asking yourself, "What lens do I need to get the shot I want?" and start asking yourself, "How do I get the shot I want with the lens I have?" With that philosophy in mind, I'd feel perfectly well covered taking a 35mm f/1.8 and the 55-300mm; that's a very flexible combination right there. Also, I'd forget about the fish-eye, personally, but that's me. Most of the shots I see done with fish-eye lenses have a "gimmicky" feel to them that just doesn't do anything for me. That's not to say they *can't* be used very creatively and very effectively but I wouldn't want to be lugging one around hoping for a shot to drop in my lap that made it all worthwhile. I'm a light and fast sorta guy; I like carrying minimal equipment that I feel will deliver maximum payload: less fuss and bother with equipment and more (mental) focus and planning on every shot.
