Ha, that's not even all of it! There is a K10d and a K20d also...
Originally posted by NZUnicorn 12-24 and 28-75. Better image quality again, but more weight and added inconvenience of lens swapping (I would find the lens changeover point inconvenient for the range I most frequently shoot)
Good point. I could see that being an issue.
Originally posted by sterretje 12-24 will be your 'fun' lens when you have the chance to shoot a landscape
This is a new lens for me. I would really love to take it and put it through it's paces. The question is will those (perhaps few) opportunities outweigh leaving something else out of the bag.
Originally posted by pathdoc in my experience you will want to do as few lens changes as possible.
Tend to agree. It will probably be a case of pick a lens for an outing and that will be it.
Originally posted by jeallen01 I think the 18-250 will be physically on the large (and heavy!) size
Actually, given its range it's surprisngly compact, albeit weighty with all that glass. This lens is on my camera a lot, and it is a good copy.
Originally posted by jimr-pdx My Tamron copy would have kept the 35/2.4 home so I would add the 50
I really do like the Tamron, it could arguably leave the 50 at home as well.
Originally posted by UncleVanya In reality the worst mistake is to take too much gear. You can find shots that your able to make with whatever you take if you have a good eye.
Food for thought indeed.
Originally posted by yorik I would choose the 35 and the 50, the K5 and the flash. The `important' pictures on this trip are almost certainly going to be people-pix,
That certainly fits the bill for compact, light weight, and the people-pics. I think I would miss the wider-angle opportunities though.
I think this may end up being a last minute gut decision as I pack the bag up. So many different ways to go. Thanks everyone for all the continued input.
