Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:
- Hi Marco, why do you shoot with wide angle lenses for street or documentary photography? It seems so much easier to work candidly with a longer lens since you don’t have to get so close to your subject. And the chances of “getting caught” seem to decrease the longer the focal length of the lens is. Thanks!
Question from: Mateo, Barcelona, Spain
- Hi Marco, I’ll be going on a safari to Tanzania with my family in the fall and I would like to know which camera and lens I should bring. I own a Nikon D5300 body and lenses between 12 - 300mm as well as a Sony Alpha 99 II with a few lenses below 200mm. I need a longer zoom around 400mm. Which camera body should I get the tele zoom for and should I rent or buy a cheap one?
