General consensus seems to be a 3 and/or a 6, particularly for sunrise or sunset (blue or golden hours). I went straight for a 10 as I'm more likely to be shooting in the middle of the day.
I figured a 10 was the default and weaker ones would be for niche use, but you echo what i've read...
Totally. I swayed between a 6 & 3 or a 10 and went with the 10 for cost primarily. I ended up with a Hitech Firecrest 10 stopper but only because they were 50% off at the time [emoji3]
I know you can get bigger, such as a 13 or 16 stopper. I'll see how I get on and determine whether to get a 3 or 6 to stack with the 10 to cover the occasions I need it.I have one of the 10 stoppers from SRB, but still need more during the day when the sun's out, even in winter

They're a nice lens, but I've never tried the Lens Turbo. This is a colourful street scene shot well.More nocturnal street photography, this time with a 50mm Pentax 1.7 on the Lens Turbo II. I like the flare control on this lens. Unfortunately it came with a small amount of fungus, so if I can't get it open to clean it, I'll have to get another. Fortunately, they're not exactly expensive

Thanks Stephen! My older K-mount SMC 1.4 won't reach infinity because the rear element hits the front of the LTII, whereas the M series don't have this issue. I've also heard that the ability of the reducer to concentrate light is in some way limited by the sensor at around f/1.1, although I must confess I don't understand what's going on there. If so, then there's very little reason to shell out for a 1.4, as the 1.7 will get you to the equivalent of f/1.2 anyway. Comparing this with the SMC Takumar 55mm 1.8, I don't think there's much in it at all, but the M 1.7 might just get the nod for better flare control.
Love these.....!!! Even the face has a frown because of the dull/bleak/drab weather.A couple from Liverpool on a grey dismal day.....

As has already been said, if you're into action etc then definitely yes. And the joystick is a worthwhile tool. But, in hindsight being a landscape shooter, would I buy it again in preference to a T1? Possibly not. I don't pixel-peep. Don't look for detail in leaves at 2 miles. Go for the feel of a photo rather than out-and-out quality. Seldom print larger than A3+. So I'm now ready to be shot down in flames! As regards the 16mm. Had one, sold it, wish I still had it. My life is full of buyers and sellers remorse.
It's going to depend on what you think you missing really and what you planning to shoot. Do you need the fast aperture of the 16mm. If not you probaly not going going to notice much of difference between that and the 10-24.
As long as drugging the kids isn't your new technique . Don't waste your drugs save the drugs for bedtime!
Yeah it's not the fastest for kids i'm in the same boat.

Looks like a sharp curve for such a large loco. Sweet shot with just enough background to give context.Just a simple shot taken when I was back home at downtown Nashville TN of The Music City Star with a little bit of info about the train service.
