Four day trip to Dubai what lenses to take - toni-a - 05-15-2016 Going this week for a four day vacation to Dubai and Abou Dhabi, I don't want to carry a lot of lenses so which ones should leave home. Canon 5D plus 24-105f4L IS would do the job I think however I am hesitating on taking my Tokina 16-28f2.8 and I think I will need an ultrawide there. A tokina is a 1kg lens a no no for travel Canon 750D plus 10-18 would be good for the wide end I still have choice for standard zoom: EFS 18-55 IS STM, EFS 17-55 f2.8 IS, Canon 24-105f4L will also surely get Canon 50f1.4 for portraits thanks in advance for your help Four day trip to Dubai what lenses to take - Brightcolours - 05-15-2016 Seems like the 750D + 10-18mm IS STM and the EF 24-105mm f4 is the best choice. You won't miss the 19-23mm gap at all, but you would miss the 56-105mm probably. Add the 50mm for portraits as you say, and you have your travel kit.

Ok I am cheating right now, for serious picture taking I use and swap between two prime lenses: Summilux 25/1.4 and M.Zuiko 45/1.8. Still a lightweight kit-bag. Ideal for travel.

Four day trip to Dubai what lenses to take - toni-a - 05-19-2016 well I went with BC advice and took 10-18 and 24-105, man I am missing my 17-55.... BTW I saw Sigma 50-100f1.8 ART was ready to get it till I discovered it is not stabilized... Four day trip to Dubai what lenses to take - toni-a - 05-21-2016 Last day, too hazy almost all shots taken indoors, missing my 17-55, f4 is not enough. a lesson I learned the hard way: Outdoor tempertature: 40 degrees, indoor temperature anywhere here 16 to 20 degrees, so as you understood: water condensation just like shooting in snow Four day trip to Dubai what lenses to take - joachim - 05-21-2016 Quote:Last day, too hazy almost all shots taken indoors, missing my 17-55, f4 is not enough. Didn't I tell you f1.4 not f4 😜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜› Four day trip to Dubai what lenses to take - toni-a - 05-21-2016 Well had I brought 17-55 f2.8 like last time, I wouldn't have needed anything else. I recon I am tempted getting a fast prime. 20 or 24 mmf1.4 or reuse my 16_28 on full frame |
