[QUOTE="hark, post: 445639, member: 13196"] Part of it will depend on how close you can stand to the waterfalls. If you are far away, a wide or ultra-wide angle lens may not be enough. Have you considered Nikon's 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5? It shouldn't be nearly as expensive to rent. I'd suggest an ND filter which will allow you to slow down the shutter speed to create the silky water effect so a tripod would then be essential. And if you do use a tripod, you won't need to worry much about having a fast lens. Here are a couple of mine taken on FX at 46mm and 44mm. I was standing relatively close for these. If shooting from this point with a DX, I'd need a wider lens. At the time, I didn't own an ND filter so had to resort to using ISO 50 and a CP filter. Would have been even nicer with an ND filter to smooth the water even more.
