Location: Bloomington, MN | Looking to see what you serious photographers are using for lenses on your mirrorless cameras? I just got a Canon R50 body which does not have image stabilization, but the kits lenses (18-45mm & 55-210mm) do. Any recommendations for in the boat and distance would be appreciated. Thanks. |

| I had not had a good camera for years, since it became impractical to use my old 35 mm film camera, and had missed having a good camera. Last year, I was able to get a new digital camera, and it is the Canon EOS R50. I got two lenses. The RF-S 18-45 mm F4.5-6.3, and the RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM. I have really enjoyed this set up. I was a little concerned about the lack of stabilization, but have been impressed that it doesn't seem to be an issue for me. I really can't believe some of the detail I can get, from quite a long ways away. I do wish the body was a little bigger, but I was balancing price and performance. |

Location: Walker, MN | I have an older/basic Sony A7 mirrorless digital camera w/o image stabilization, and Sigma 17 mm F/4. I need to get back into the routine of taking fish pics with this camera, they are so much better than any cell phone. I've found the 17mm fixed lens to be perfect for taking pics in a boat, and it doesn't distort the photo like a true wide-angle lens would (I believe a digital 17mm is the equivalent to 34 mm for a film SLR camera). I think image stabilization is more important on a zoom lens. |
