Last year I found it a real struggle
 As I'm starting a masterclass-course and I'm on a trip to France at the end of the month, I'll give it another try for 3/week. Lenses? Don't know yet  Help me to run to the finish

BTW, with lenses 14, 16 to 35, 18, 24, 28 to 75, 35, 50, 70 to 300, and 100 to 400mm I don't know yet what to choose... Any ideas? Edited by Harm vb - 25 March 2022 at 21:37 |

And if you have little time and need flexibility a macro is always a good idea (Don't you have the 90/2.8 macro) so that might be an obvious first and safe choice. Then throw in your 18 or 24 mm as a second lens to have a wide option and you're in business I think. |

I'd echo pegelli's suggestion, for my first Dyxum Challenge I chose 30 and 100mm macros on my A77 - I don't think I did many macro shots, but it was reassuring to know it was an option if all else failed. |

Mmm, I guess that it sounds good.
Indeed, I do own the SEL90M28G, a great macro lens. Together with 18mm, I think that 'll do the trick next month. Here we go! Fingers crossed. |

Ok, I'm all sorted for my challenge. I'll be using my mc 50mm 1.4 and mc 135mm 2.8 for at least 3 per week, I'll take more but after failing the last few challenges I don't want to put undue pressure on myself!
I'm away rowing in the Scillies at the end of the month so I'll post when I get back. Good luck everyone! |

I'll be working in Singapore for the better part of April and cannot commit to anything as I don't know if I will find opportunity for photography. And if I do find opportunity, I'll not be focused on a one or two prime challenge. Having said that, as I'm certainly taking the LAOWA 12mm f/2.8 and shift converter (17mm f/4) I possibly have a two prime challenge package that can get me a couple of shots that qualify.

After some thinking I've selected my lenses for the month:
First my smallest lens, a Leica M-Summaron 35/2.8, bought by my father in 1960 and still in the family The second one is the Sony FE 85/1.8, a lens I already have for almsost 3 1/2 years but didn't use very much yet, it's time to change that. |

Still undecided about the lens to use next to the Zeiss Batis 135/2.8.
The 20/1.8G - great lens, loving it but a bit wide. The 28/2 - great focal length, but the lens is not that inspiring. Maybe I split the difference and use the Canon EF 24/2.8.... I would love it if the wild rumour of the 28/1.4GM (or G?) is true, but I do not hold my breath
