I read through the 13 pages of posts as I'm looking forward to a 8D7N Thailand trip. Yeah 8D7N sounds like an overkill, but the flight and rooms are really cheap so I thought why not travel around Thailand, starting from Bangkok.

I'm planning to bring my 50D with
1. Canon 17-55mm f/2.8
2. Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8
3. Sigma 30mm f/1.4
and of course my set of GND & ND filters and a Tripod

Initially I was thinking of only bringing the 17-55 and the 30mm to travel light. Since it's a 8D7N trip, I foresee a fair bit of traveling around and I certainly don't want to miss out on the scenery.

Can any one please give some advice on my set-up on whether I should just stick with 2 lenses or go with all 3?

if weight is really a concern, then u can leave your sigma 30mm f1.4 behind since it will be overlap by 17-55mm in terms of focal length. You dun shoot wide open at f1.4-2 right?

anyway for me i am bringing my 17-40mm plus 35mm for my BKK trip in april.

 

[Dinorex]

Travel alone / photography trip:
-D3
-D3s
-12-24mm
-24-70mm
-70-200mm
Gitzo Tripod + RRS head
Laptop
Filters
Every other stuff borrow or beg from my friend.. eg. 400mm f2.8, charger and etc..

Trying to keep my gear as light as possible without compromising too much.. well maybe taking a bit of advantage of my friend.


With my wife and family:
LX5

This is the best setup for me.

Setting up tripods.. compose.. wait for the right moment.. done.. (wife with a loooong face waiting.. and other family members already miles ahead of me).. :X

For me I would take the 1 & 3.. Tokina shld help you cover the wide angle part.. Walking a few step forward and backward shld give me 30mm++ & 30mm--.. Although I do not have the convenient of zooming.. that just my personal preference.

Thanks for the sound advice!

I'll probably leave the 30mm in the hotel's safe and bring it out only at night
