Hi Beachboy
Good choice to bring the d800 along with u on ur upcoming trip.. i had no regrets
Just take care of ur expensive equipment. Pics to share? too many
But lets give other people a chance to post their d800 pics!
Polarizing filter would be helpful if u take pics outdoors.. Think u will still get gd amt of sunlight in Sept. U will see alot of leaves changing colour.. lucky you . But i'm not sure abt its use indoors.. anyway, the lighting conditions in the Louvre is not very bright so the use of a polariser is not recommended. But u can always try
The Mona Lisa is a fake?? Heard thatrumour somewhere but I like to think that that is real.. I think the Louvre would have some integrity.. so if they have that's the Mona Lisa, I take it as face value. But realistically, I dun blame them if that's a fake. A mighty good one I have to admit.
Do bring a zoom if the farthest u hav is only a 50mm.. u definitely need more. I used the 28-300mm for my trip.
All the best!
