cruise around Cape Horn from LA to Buenos Aires) my
wife and I brought 3 cameras and six lenses ranging
from 24-70 mm to 100-400 mm plus primes.
7D2 was useful for its built-in flash for inside photos
on the ship. (also carried external flash)
I am always mystified about how many fredmiranda.com
commenters say they bring second-rate, lighter
equipment to record once-in-a-lifetime, expensive
trips. If we have relatives in tow, we lend them
camera/lens combos (not latest models/don't sell
old equipment) so the relations can't complain about
photography hobby.
Obviously if we're going on a winter trip to Puerto
Vallarta to warm up, we would minimize.
Independent travel usually necessitates minimizing
the amount of equipment. We dress down and
put equipment in non-descript backpack when not
using.
Only theft we have had was a point and shot camera left on the dresser
of our hotel room in Greece in 1995.
After visiting over 100 countries in 25 years much of
our enjoyment is viewing photos and videos of these
trips.
Hi Gary,
What is your best travel gear? I'm curious why you posted this on the Voigtlander 110/2.5 APO thread. Which one of your lenses do you think will perform better than this one?
Personally when traveling I prefer bringing the Zeiss 85/4 ZM as my telephoto needs for its superb image quality at only 300g.
Hi Fred,
I am in transition from Canon to Sony and possibly Nikon (trying out Z7). However,
am having trouble adapting to mirrorless. (an old dog not good at learning new tricks)
was responding to Guy's post on this Voig thread about his possible travel kit. Should
have quoted his post. For most trips abroad, Sigma 50 mm Art for Canon mount, Canon 24-70 II,
and Canon 100-400 II plus my wife's Canon 40 mm pancake lens). Canon cameras
used are my wife's 7DII, 5D4, and 6DII for low-light and video (in my opinion works as
well as the highly promoted 80D). My wife has been using a wheelchair for several
years so we hang camera/lens bag(s) off of it.
Have been using Sony 90 mm macro which is not as easy to use as the Canon 100 macro I used
before transition. Am interested to see if the Voig 110 will be better. arriving Tuesday.
UPDATE AS OF 9:50 DEC. 8 THE LENS IS IN LONG BEACH!
