These inexpensive lenses perform well considering their low cost. I use them when I do not want to put my more expensive lenses in harm's way.
1. Vivitar 70-210mm Series I AI f/3.5 Zoom (67mm filter)
Use as a backup to my Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 and Fuji 50-140mm f/2.8.
2. Tamron 28-200mm f/3.8 to f/5.6 Zoom auto focus (72mm filter)
Under good lighting conditions, this lens can substitute for two of my Nikon zoom lenses (35-70mm f/2.8 and 80-200mm f/2.8).
This is my favorite lens for shooting on the beach where the lens may be damaged by sand and water.
3. Nikkor 35mm f/2 AI (52mm filter)
This was my favorite lens until I replaced it with the f/1.4 version that became my favorite lens. I use this as a backup to my f/1.4.
4. Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Series E (52mm filter)
Use this manual focus lens as a backup to my 50mm f/1.4 auto focus. It is one of three lenses in my wedding backup kit.
5. Nikkor 75-150mm Series E Zoom f/3.5 AIS (52mm filter)
Second of three lenses in my wedding backup kit.
6. Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5 to f/5.6 G AF VR (52mm filter)
Third of three lenses in my wedding backup kit.
This is also my lens-of-choice when I need to travel with just one digital SLR body and one lens. If this lens is lost, damaged, or stolen, I do not suffer a great financial hardship.
Finally got round to getting a Time Capsule, so now my Mac gets backed up and I can sleep soundly again.
But where did I get 1,769, 857 files from?
Remember tape storage? It was used in everything from mainframes to TI personal computers. Though it's still used as a form of backup media today, hard drives have fortunately replaced tape as the primary form of storage.
I will never, ever say that a phone camera is a capable substitute for a "real" camera. Compare this with the version I shot with the E-M1 and you'll see why.
But boy, a nice phone like the iPhone 6 Plus makes a terrific backup camera. I spotted this trio, lined up my shot, and then...prrrrp. Dead battery! Damn damn damn damn. I didn't want to make these nice women wait while I did a battery swap, so instead I took a shot with the iPhone, just so I'd at least have something.
There's really very little to complain about; it's as good a photo as many pocket cameras of that size and price would have taken, if left on full-auto mode. It's considerably better than "better than nothing."
I keep thinking that some day, I'll bring two MFT camera bodies with me to an event like this. I still have my pocket-sized Panasonic GX-1. The idea would be to keep the "good" lens on the Olympus and put a specialty lens (like a fisheye or telephoto) on the Panasonic, and be able to quickly use that option without suffering the delay of a lens swap. I haven't followed through on the idea because who wants to bring an extra charger and whatnot on the trip?
But also, I know I have a good second camera in my shirt pocket.
and of cours every archer worth his salt has a backup weapon....well okay this might be the worst backup in the history of the world, considering that it is just about as sharp as a spoon, it bends and twists if i swing it....aaand its starting to rust
also + for scabbard and handle covered in isolation tape to keep it from falling apart XD
Backup, backup, backup... It's never too much... :)
