How can you travel to a remote, far away place with just *one* lens?


usually by plane, sometimes by boat.

Answer: because with FF everything is so bulky and heavy that you have
to leave the other lenses at home.


no, that's not why.


$2000 for the a7R III, $2300 for the Sony 16-35 f/2.8, and the travel
expenses to the Maldives left little room in his wallet for additional
overpriced Sony glass. However he did say that he needed this lens as it was
the only wide-angle he had with him. That leads one to believe that he had
other, or at least one other lens which was not a wide-ange. Moreover, in
France which Pierre Lambert calls home I don’t believe there are too many
bargains on any cameras, let alone any Sony FF at the height of their
popularity.
