Nowadays when I travel I bring along either:
a) Sony 12-24 and 24-105 zooms or
b) Voigtlander 21/1.4, 40/1.2 180/4 and Loxia 85/2.4
with my a7rii.
Last time I went to Malta I just took the 24-105 and had a great time.
In Rome, especially, I would never carry a camera in a backback or any means where I could not wrap my arms tightly around it in crowded situations. (Which seems to be all the time in Rome.) Special care in train stations or the underground. If you sense a situation like a fight or an argument nearby be aware that it might be staged to distract you and make you an easier target.
Older people on public transportation with expensive gear is a very tempting target in Italy. Both my Wife and I have come to serious blows with people who tried it on us. I don't take that kind of stuff, and neither does she.
Hi Steve,
If walking around Rome as an example will be an issue with the Backlight 13, maybe I should have one camera in the Kinesis Gear Pouch that I showed above and purchase another of these or either the Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 10 or Mirrorless Mover 12 and have both the Kinesis Gear Pouch (s) and one of the Mirrorless Mover bags mounted on the Think Tank belt. I could carry both cameras with mounted lenses and 1 or 2 additional unmounted lenses in one or both bags.
