p.1 #1Rome with just an a1 + 20-70/4 and 70-200/2.8? And best spots to capture?
Planning a 5 day trip to Rome in late April with my 18 year old daughter before she starts college in the fall.

I'm leaning towards a 2-lens setup with just the a1 and 20-70/4 + 70-200/2.8.

I'm not planning on photographing inside churches/museums. Guessing photos will be 80% portrait/environmental portraits. 20% landscape. Given that I would want to include some of the background in the wider portraits, I'm not sure anything faster than f/4 offers me much. I could rent a lens for the week if needed.

I haven't been to Rome since my honeymoon 20+ years ago so looking for any advice/recs on gear and where to shoot.

Thanks!

Good idea. Not sure why I thought to post in City.
