Back again to Santorini as we seem to enjoy this particular place.
Just a quick note about lens choices for Santorini. When we visited the isle for the first time, I took a 20-70mm zoom as my go-to lens and a 24mm f1.4 as a low light lens. The zoom placed me on the safe side and as I had no tripod, the 24mm allowed me to catch some nice low light moments. A ricoh griiix was part of the trip, allowing me to catch street shots unoticed (no one bother anyway, as most were taking selfies).
For the second trip, I left the 24mm f1.4 at home, took the zoom for the new places I had planned to visit and took a 14mm f1.8 for night shots and snug places, and also a 85mm f1.4. A fuji x100vi was also in the luggages.
A few notes for those who might have similiar choice to do; cities cry for wide angles as the streets are narrow. But they are packed with tourists, thus a short telephoto or zoom is more appropriate. Also, Santorini can be very windy with dust flying all over the place. Changing lenses is then not a good idea. Even the fuji had a filter attached to protect the fixed lens.
The 85mm was the focal I was the most unsure about. And it was the one I enjoyed the most. It allowed me to take beautiful portraits (after all it’s a portrait lens) but I was also able to take nice low light and closeup shots.
Now, I have no idea which pictures was taken with what (lens, camera), unless I read the exif. How funny how gear matters until it doesn’t.
