Your desert island lens...you can only have one!!!
Of course that's only as long as batteries could be charged...otherwise it's the Schneider and film. (no batteries necessary...just film and a place to store it!)

When I'm tired of shooting I can use it for weight training and cracking open coconuts.

Feb 12 13 09:12 am Link My Canon EOS 1Ds III OR an EOS 5D Mark III with SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD  and a kenko 1.4x Teleconverter attached (which is not a lens) Feb 12 13 09:13 am Link Raoul Isidro Images wrote: my thought exactly!

Feb 12 13 09:17 am Link My 24-70 f/2.8 on my brand new 5D MkIII, which, as the store informed me just an hour ago, is now in!! ...of course, with all that scenery and all those beautiful models, I'd also have to MacGyver up some naval mines, in case anyone got any crazy ideas about "saving" me, either early or otherwise. Just drop off my computer (so I can edit the pictures, some solar panels and a converter, air lift in some kegs and a tap now and then for our luaus, maybe a satellite and big-screen TV for the Superbowl, and that's it. We'll go Gilligan's Island with the rest.

Feb 12 13 09:41 am Link It used to be my 70-200 f 2.8. I recently picked up a T4i for a back up and got it with the EF-S 18-135 3.5-5.6 IS STM. It is light weight, fast focusing, silent, and amazingly sharp. No complaints at all! Feb 12 13 10:04 am Link Select Models wrote: It's good to see people still have a sense of humor around here!

That and I use Facebook to "archive" all the old Alaska "family album" (like 5000images!) shots. Easy. Feb 12 13 12:22 pm Link ummm hard choice but the nikon 24-70 2.8 Feb 12 13 12:28 pm Link Nikon 24-120f4N it's not quite up to the 24-70f2.8 (pretty close though - and more than adequate from 24mm - about 105, after that it falls off) or the Canon 24-105L but it would be the best compromise I could make on full frame..... so - how many models do I get to have on my desert island with me Feb 12 13 12:37 pm Link 35mm Summicron on a Leica M2, Weston meter (no batteries), case of Tri-X. Or my 35/1.4, 5D3, case of CF cards, and a solar charger. Feb 12 13 12:40 pm Link Good news fellow islanders!!! I just installed a few wind generators and some solar panels so, the island DOES have electricity!!!...and internet!!! Also, There is a new thatched roof Victoria's Secret for the models to aquire wardrobe. Feb 12 13 05:28 pm Link Canon 24-105L, magical lens! Feb 12 13 06:04 pm Link only me and the model on that island?? canon 24-70 f2.8 its the Feb 12 13 06:23 pm Link Nikon 35 f1.4 Feb 12 13 06:35 pm Link billy badfinger wrote: Easy. My Canon 75-300 (I'm greedy I want ALL the shots!) Feb 12 13 06:37 pm Link I say Zeiss 50mm f/2.0 Makro-Planar ZE Macro Yea, its not a 1.4 or 1.8 but it can get close for macro. Feb 12 13 07:13 pm Link billy badfinger wrote: In this case ... I change my gear preference Feb 13 13 08:50 am Link I'd probably take the Canon 28-300. I'd hate the fact that the quality isn't what I want, but it'd do literally everything. I'd want to take the 24-105 really though...

My desert island lens would be something big enough to turn into a canoe. Feb 13 13 07:10 pm Link Feb 13 13 08:00 pm Link George Ruge wrote: Same here.
