For back-up disks, I stay with the cheaper HDD's.

There are two types of drives: those that have failed and those that have not failed yet.

... so for travel, you may take this one, the 12-28, and maybe some stabilized macro lens serving as a tele (FL 90 to 105)... in my short experience with the Zfc, the smaller size, mass and inertia of the camera induce some more camera shake (compared to the massive Zf + grip), so I'd typically use a speed = 1/(2 * FL) on static subjects (where I'd use 1/FL with the Zf). Given the fact that the Zfc will use shorter FLs for achieving the same framing, that's a 1/2 stop difference.

This reminds me of my film days when I could shoot my old Nikkormatt EL at a quarter of a second handheld. Then I bought an FE and I couldn’t hand hold it at a 30th of a second cause it was so light. Having a heavy camera makes it much easier to get a good shot like having a heavy gun which absorbs the recoil.  Thanks for your sharing all your insights on this lens. Regards, Gerry.

this is a pretty good lens, im surprised by it myself

Today, I was taking pictures of that mantis and it climbed onto my hand.
