Traveling and Photography

>>3019338
when i travel i just bring my gr21 and a hexar rf with 35mm

>>3019338
i guess i just dont find carrying a bag to be bothersome or something to plan around. i carry two film bodies with 28/50/135/200 primes

>It sucks having to bring a camera bag around into restaurants, etc.
honestly.. why?

Are you travelling to take photographs or travelling for some other reason and just taking a camera?

One camera, one prime lens.

Has worked for me on all my trips which added up together since 2012 equates to about 16 months of travel.

This is pretty good. Shot my last trips with a 35 1.8 which was especially great in the evening and nighttime.
Sometimes wished for something wider. But I wasn't convinced with the 24 and 28 2.8 as primes so I will most likely get a 16-50 or 17-50 now that I will bring if I feel in need of something more versatile.

The 24-105 turns any camera into an unstoppable monster.
Anyone who claims to "need" more than that may be a massive gearfag.
I did 3 weeks in japan with just a 50 and a 35, and 2 weeks in NZ with just a 30 and a 28, and never wanted for more.

This. Take to much gear and it becomes a burden. Keep it light and easy.

$?

Kit lens(18-55 or 24-70 on FF) + a fast lens or tele.

If i'm going out for a day where I plan to shoot a lot, 70-200 f4 & 24-70 f4.

If it's with me just in case, a 28mm f2 and 55mm f1.8

It depends if your trip goal is photography or enjoyment. Naturally, the most versatile choice is a 24-xx zoom. I personally go for a 35 and a 70-210/4. The only time that setup is inadequate is indoors where a 20 would be more useful, but I don't want to carry all that much.

Pretty much. I went on a day trip to sweden a few years back. I had 5-6 lenses with me, ended up using only the sigma 30 1.4 the whole trip. The other stuff was only a hindrance.

Because a lot of restaurants are smallish, pack you in, etc.

Photography is my biggest hobby but I'm not traveling with a primary purpose, I want to get good shots though to print out and remember and to share with friends.

The 24-105 makes me want a full frame camera more than anything, 24 would be perfect on full frame but on crop it's too narrow to get large buildings and shit.

That being said the 10-18 is a perfect compliment and small enough to throw in a tiny bag or friends purse.

The most practical kit imho would be something like

Tamron 24-70 2.8 VC
Tamron 70-300 4-5.6 VC
82mm and 67mm Variable NDs
Good hybrid full frame camera (D750+/5D-6D)

I guarantee no one on this board travels even 1/3rd as much as I do so i'll bite.

I use one body and the 18-55 kit lens (which is quite stellar, it's the Mk.II VR) as my go-to walkaround. I have a 35,50 and 85 prime if it's night or I plan on stalking people, a 180 for birds and an 11-16 for landscapes and all of it fits in a regular Canon DSLR bag nothing special. If I really want I can even squeeze in a film body.

The point is, have an idea of what it is you're after and mount that on the camera but have a plan to drop it on a moment's notice for another lens, I usually carry the 35 or 85 in my pocket if I don't have the bag.
