Originally posted by timb64 Have a great trip.My only word of caution would be that Vietnam can be extremely dusty and humid and you might want to limit the number of lens changes.Do you really want to carry eight lenses,some of which duplicate your basic zoom kit?
BTW I managed a ten week trip around SE Asia with just a K5ii and DA16-85WR no lens changing,no problems in low light situations such as temple interiors and really appreciated not carrying a lot of photographic kit in the climate.
My favourites from Asia Trip | Flickr Thanks for the advice, Tim B. I saw your flickr album some time ago. I admire both your pictures and your discipline. Great stuff.
I am on a small package tour through Vietnam, mostly in the major coastal towns - Saigon, Hoi An, Na Trang, Hue and Hanoi. I expect to have time to swap and clean lenses, but I agree the number of lenses sounds a bit obsessive-compulsive. I love my primes, although I expect that the 16-85 will do most of the work on this trip, supported by the 15mm and 21mm as lightweights.
How did you deal with low-light interior shots when flash is frowned on - ISO of 3200 and upwards?
