Thanks for all the input!

While I don't usually subscribe to the "One Lens" club, I will probably only use the Sigma for the Scotland/Switzerland trip. Unless I find a super nice 55-300 in the Marketplace! :cool::cool: The airline we are flying from Scotland to Switzerland has a "ONE BAG ONLY" policy. If you bring two bags, bad things happen I guess.

Hey everyone,

This year, the family and I are doing some bucket-list travel. I am spending 5 days in the deserts in and around Moad, Utah and then in the summer we are headed to Scotland followed by Switzerland. I need some help deciding upon gear. We are travelling to Scotland then Switzerland with a single backpack each. We usually have good luck packing for a week with these, but I have never had more than my camera w/ the Sigma lens in my bag. No, I don't keep the lens on during travel. Even though we carry on, I have seen security be rather exceedingly rough with bags.

Currently, I have a K3 with a few different lenses...

My Sigma 17-50mm

My Sigma is the main lens I use. But, I also have

My DA 50-200mm

... which, let's face it, I have never really enjoyed.

When we went on a cruise to Alaska, I rented a big ol' lens

Not a bad lens, really.

I got some great shots with it, but that's when we had oodles of space. Now, we are renting a car and each with a single backpack. I know what my Sigma can and can't do on my K3, but I was wondering if anyone had any "One lens only" trip advice? I was thinking I could slip a fast 50mm prime in my son's bag when we wasn't looking... I really enjoy landscapes and architecture photography, but I won't have a tripod. I will have my black rapid sling and I have found will do in a pinch when wrapped tight around my wrist.

Any suggestions?
