In my camera bag

in my bag is usually a lot of equipment. Are mainly equipment by Pentax. Normally two chambers - it is currently full frame K-1 and K-3 crop. As always a few lenses. Are mainly the same Pentax - DA 10-17 3.5-4.5 Fisheye, DA 12-24 4, DA 17-170 4, DA*50-135 2.8, DA*200 2.8, FA 50 1.4, FA 77 1.8 Limited, FA* 250-600 5.6. also has a pair of lenses from other manufacturers- Tamron 90 2.8 macro, Samyang 14 2.8 and Sigma 20 1.8. And old soviet lenses - Helios 44M-4, MIR -10A, TAIR -3s. On the shooting I usually take 4-5 lenses. Also I have a carbon fiber tripod with a ball and a panoramic heads

Feedback

many believe fisheye "lens frivolous" - it is not. if you learn how to handle it properly, you can shoot with the help of the great landscapes!
