Love the color contrast, Ross. So you have the Sony PZ 16-35, the 24-105 and the Tammy 50-400 for this trip?
Thanks, Douglas! Well, my main backpack I take in the field usually does have that combo of 50-400, 24-105, and 16-35. But I also brought a 2nd backpack that stays at the campground or in the truck and is filled with other lenses I might want on certain shoots or to test more or as backups. Things like the Sigma 500, Sigma 14-24, 70-200/2.8 GMII, 50-300 for lightweight hiking, 90 macro, Viltrox 16/1.8, 20/1.8, 35/1.4 GM for astro, Tamron 28-200 if I need a one-lens hiking solution.
I took this one of my 79 year old dad with his 82 year old wife of two years. My mother passed in 2020 and it's been nice for my rapidly aging dad to have a great companion. I caught them on a walk (which is hard for my dad since he's having serious health issues). Simera 35/1.4

That's a lot of lenses to travel with! . Nice to have options!

Caught some aurora last night up in the North Cascades:

I went out to the Gettysburg Battle Field last night to shoot aurora, very very faint color, might have something to do with the thick clouds. I tried both the CV 21mm F1.4 and the CV 35 f1.2.
