2shay 0 #1 February 13, 2007 what type, and how wide angle would you choose for tandems for digital still cameradon't try your bullshit with me!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 2 #2 February 13, 2007 Depends on how close you fly to the tandems, it needs to match your video too. I've seen excellent results with everything from a 10.5mm fisheye to a 20mm lens. I really don't like the kit lenses, but some people manage decent photo's with those Generally fixed is better than zoom but the sigma 10-20mm gets good reviews too. I personally dislike the fisheye effect but fisheyes are cheaper and lighter than straight wideangle lenses. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miami 0 #3 February 13, 2007 Depends... Most common is anything from 24-28mm..., but depends on how you fly, if you're trying to be artistic, and so on. Keep in mind if you are shooting with a DSLR without a full frame sensor you will have a cropping factor that will magnify the lens you are using, so that will affect which lens you need.Miami Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyhy 0 #4 February 14, 2007 compatibility with your video lens is the most important! I think the wider the better, find it easier to fly close to the tandem and always keep them in frame. Recommend.3-.42 (video) & 16mm fisheye from Zenit (cheap!) ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
