    What do you value in a "walk around" lens?

    Pancake lenses don't exist in the Nikon universe. They made a couple of them way back in the '80s.

    What do you value in a "walk around" lens?

    I still don't have an 18-55, and might not have one for another three weeks. I'm hoping it'll be sooner than that and B&H gets my replacement sent out next week, instead of 10/15 like they said. So far, the lens I've really liked is the Sigma 30mm f/1.4, even though it weighs more than the...

    What do you value in a "walk around" lens?

    I mentioned it, but I did order a "used" 18-55. It was listed as the AF-S VRII model, and I hope that's what it really is, since with Amazon sellers, you can never be certain, considering how many versions (4?) there are of that lens now. The concept of the AF-P lenses kind of annoys me. I...

    What do you value in a "walk around" lens?

    Well, another approach has me favoring the Nikon 18-140 VR, which is more along those lines. I could even dedicate the D7100 to that, since It's just sitting around. It's definitely smaller and lighter. It's really two different situations. The street photography has more of a specific...

    What do you value in a "walk around" lens?

    I know a lot of you guys have specific "walk around" lenses. The fact is, in all these decades, I've never just walked around with a camera and taken pictures. I'm interested in trying some more generic, and maybe street photography, and I'm curious what you look for. For what I'm thinking...
