Hi Stuart,
It's not what you asked, I know, but WMUK should consider investing in
some new merchandise - using Wikipedia branding, not the WMUK logo because
nobody has any idea what the latter is, which sort of defeats the point. I
(re-)learnt at Wikimania that hats can be very useful outreach tools.

The only thing I can say about microphones is
that when I was recording
bands in
the 1970s, we mostly used Shure SM57s and SM58s. They were expensive but
unbelievably rugged. You could use a cheap condenser microphone to mike
up a
flute or for "filling in", but the SM57s always sounded better when
miking up
acoustic guitars, drums, etc. I never found anything as good as the SM58s
for
vocals.
I guess there must be newer, cheaper mikes around now, but I'm out of
touch with
modern studio equipment.

There's a newer (2012-era)
18-250mm

Thanks,

Well that would certainly solve the problem of providing a decent
reach without lens duplication although I'd be surprised if it didn't
distort a fair bit at the wider end.
And while I'll accept the blame this conversation has been largely
about lenses. Anyone got anything to say about microphones?
