hmmm!...this wasn't supposed to happen for awhile.
But....while going over my travel kit and doing a trial pack, I was somewhat taken back at the weight I had created for myself...the back pack was pushing on 10kg and probably stretching the friendship with the airlines 7kg carry on rule.
The problem was the Sig 135-400, whilst I like it a lot...as a walk around lens it is big, clumsy due to lens creep and heavy.
Also given the fact that my 50-200 has mysteriously found its way to NZ courtesy of no 1 daughter, has given me cause to re-consider my kit.
After the usual research I ordered a Tamron 70-300 DI LD f4-5.6, so the kit will now be the Sig 18-125 on the DL and the Tamron 70-300 on the DS with the Sig 24 f1.7 as the "go to" lens when quality is called for.
The 135-400, DFA 100 & 18-55 are all staying home.....unless you lot can come up with compelling reasons to do something different
I will post the mandatory first LBA shot when it turns up.
Cheers
