Since you are forgoing a zoom, if you have one, perhaps the 1.4x or 1.7x teleconverter might be a good idea, since it will be small and light yet still give you a bunch more flexibility with your focal lengths. Lensrentals.com has the 1.4x for $59 per 12 days. You can probably have it sent directly to the VI at domestic rates since it's a US territory. The 1.7x you'd have to purchase, and since you are using all AF lenses, the 1.4 might be the way to go.
So with the 1.4, you'd have 15mm, 21mm, 70mm, 98mm, 300mm, and 420mm, leaving only one hole at the middle to standard range.

Add this with the 1.4, and you'd have pretty much every range from wide to super-tele covered at only 1 lb added to your kit.
Ahhh I WISH!
I've been staring at that HD 1.4xTC online for weeks...
Ever since getting my hands on the DA*300!
I don't think I'll be able to swing that for the trip unfortunately. The rental option looks promising, though we're going to be bouncing around the island so much I am not sure I can guarantee a shipping location, plus it'd be about $100 said and done... I'd rather put that towards purchasing the TC when I return.

Originally posted by Papa Lazarou I would say you're missing something in the useful 20-45 mm range myself.
Best of luck with your wedding though. Have a terrific time!
Yeah, kind of kicking myself for trading the 35mm macro...
Hopefully the DA15 will produce something though!

Shoot, I haven't updated my account info in a while...
I sold that lens a few weeks back.
I wanted to pick up a 16-85wr before the trip but that didn't happen.
I'll make do with the 15/70/300 combo.
Can't wait to post some shots here when I get back!
