Originally posted by Jonathan Mac I always find it interesting how varied people's idea of the ideal travel kit is. The OP clearly prefers something simple, compact and light, while I'm very much at the other extreme as I enjoy using good gear when I visit new places. . . .
I'm like you
If I can, I pack for possibilities ( and I think that I really just have to haul of it from the car to the airport, through the air port and finally to the rental vehicle )
take those 2 for low light ( F 1.8 and 2.0 )
that one for macro ( 1:1 )
that one for wide angle ( but with a K 3 and K 3 II, none of my current lenses are all that wide angle field of view )
that one for telephoto zoom
and that one for telephoto prime
and that for an extender
not to forget those 2, they are small and light
finally that DSLR back up and the little 35mm pocket camera just in case
where is that kitchen sink any way
