I'm taking a road trip this summer, and I'll be camping and spending a lot of time in Shenandoah NP, Great Smoky Mountains NP, and Rocky Mountain NP (with lots of stops in between). While I'm not normally a landscape photographer, I'm thinking I may kick myself if I'm not prepared for the trip and miss shots I want to take.
My primary camera is a D600, and the only lens I have is the Tamron 28-75 F2.8. While for a majority of the photography I'm interested in, a longer zoom makes more sense, and that was my planned next purchase, I'm wondering if I should invest in a wider prime or zoom. I guess my question is whether it's worth it or not -- will I be disappointed with not having something wider? My budget for this lens would probably be around $300 used, which doesn't seem to leave a lot of options anyways. I could rent a lens, but I'll be gone for 30 plus days...
I also have a Sony NEX-5n that I'm more likely to carry hiking -- but I'm not sure I want to spend any money on a lens for that.
Thoughts? Any older legacy glass, even if it's MF, that might work for this purpose?
