Awesome! :)
I don't mind the other photographers and tourists, as I have my tricks to make my pics "unique" :)))
Interesting, what you're saying about the lens. The price tag isn't always a criterion for better quality, for instance, I have Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 but I think shooting at f/1.8, the 50 mm f/1.8 lens produces better images, and that is really weird as the f/1.4 version costs triple...

I try to avoid places where more than a few others are - prefer places which are not so accessible 😉
That's right, a high price doesn't always mean the lens is better than a cheaper one - if Sigma had RF lenses I would shoot with them because all Sigma lenses I have had before were great.
I have the 50mm f/1.8 but I haven't used it a lot yet.

So do I, whenever it is possible :)
With regards to Sigma, I had the chance to test-drive two of them, both from the Art series.
50mm f/1.4
and
24mm f/1.4
with my Canon5D Mark III body.
I felt in love with the 50mm, the images were so sharp and the focus was exactly where I wanted it to be.
However, the 24mm was a total disaster. It was during a one-week photo-trip to Greece, so imagine my frustration to have had to delete almost the half of the files on my return.
After that for some time I was personally asking all the people I know who use Sigma, and all they told me they had troubles with their lenses, some had to go calibrate them to their bodies. My stat showed 50% trouble in total with lenses. This was about 6-7 years ago though, so I guess Sigma improved that ratio since.
Maybe I was just lucky with my lenses 😉
I have the 105mm macro lens and I love it, although I might switch to a RF lens one day, but just because I don't want to use the adapter anymore.
And I have had the 100-400mm and the 150-600mm Contemporary lenses. Both were great lenses, but the 150-600 was too heavy and I changed the 100-400 for the RF version from Canon because of the adapter and the weight because I take the long lenses always with me, just in case.

That's an excellent point, actually. I sometimes leave my 100-400 mm even when traveling abroad, as it weights almost 2 kg! :D Walking ten kilometers per day with a ten kg backpack for a few consecutive days is too much :)

My RF 100-400mm weighs only 635 grams and that's great, but my backpack is still often over 15 kg heavy because due to the lighter lens I take other things with me which I often even don't need 😅
Maybe you like a !PIZZA fresh from the Oven 😋

Tell me about it :) I often make fun of myself doing the same over and over again! :D

I always have two power banks and other gear with me, although I hardly ever need these. I always have too much to drink and to eat or additional clothes with me and this adds to the weight 😅
