Re: Photo Equipment for a month long? trip to Italy


My 2 cents:

You have far more experience with gear than 95% of the people that might respond.

Sit down with pen and paper and a nice glass of wine or espresso.

(The only two liquids that matter )

Ask yourself what kind of images you want to bring home and then try to relate those desires to the gear most likely to fulfill them.

After that first cull ask yourself if any that equipment might compromise other sources of potential pleasure that the journey might provide.

After the second cull see what fits in the bag.

Done.

I find that while traveling I always desire to have the same base set of lenses with me.

True whether I'm gone for a weekend or two weeks.

When it is comfortable to do so I might pack a couple of "exotics" to play with.

Enjoy your trip. Looking forward to the day when I can be away for a month at a time.
