Dear Wayne,

Thank you for your patience. In response to your question-

The first decision you may want to make is how much camera gear you want to bring with you. I feel when traveling that less is more but others may disagree.
That said when I travel I take a micro 4:3 camera (Olympus) and two zooms, a medium wide12-40 and a medium long 40-150, when compared to full frame
cameras: 24-70, 70-200. I also take a 1.4x tele-extender.

When I shoot for commercial clients I use Canon full-frame cameras but when I travel I love the freedom of shooting something smaller, lighter, and faster.

For me this combo is perfect. I get to cover the lens ranges I normally shoot in but I don’t have to bring along a heavy bag or worry as much about
security issues. When I want to go even lighter, I’ll leave the medium long zoom back in my room and travel with just the medium wide zoom which
is often my sweet spot for the type of shooting I do.

If that seems like not enough glass for you my next recommendation would be to add in a wider zoom lens. As to which of your lenses you should bring you will
be a better judge than I of which of your lenses you prefer. However if you follow the recommendation of one medium wide zoom one medium long zoom and then possibly an
extra wide zoom, you’ll be on the right track.

I’m not urging you to buy anything else but I know lots of folks like to have their “spare” camera be a pro-sumer point and shoot that is able to shoot raw files
when they want to travel extra light. In my case when that happens, I’ll bring my phone which has apps that allow me to shoot tifs or RAWS.

A few other things to consider are carrying your gear in a nondescript bag that does not scream camera bag, bringing a small light-weight tripod for time exposures,
taking extra batteries, voltage converter, plenty of memory cards and a card reader for your laptop or tablet for downloading and back-up.

Have a great trip, Happy Shooting!
