Good advice. My 16-35 covers the first two. Is that an 85 and a 135 or one?

Sounds like a great setup that Fuji, unfortunately not really an option for me due to financial constraints . RX1 is supposed to be superb. Have to say love my lumix LX7 as a slightly bigger cheaper option.

new zealand is a part of the trip I'm most looking forward to get stuck in on. I think the tele might be right back in the bag

I couldn't agree more about the fuji setup, I think their stuff looks amazing and love the form factor. Interesting you'd take a 135, any particular reason? I've got an 85 and 135 and wasn't sure which one would be more useful.

on the subject of chargers, got this neat 3rd party one that charges 5d batteries by usb, 12v or mains. works a treat http://www.amazon.co.uk/Novelty-Charger-microUSB-compatible-batteries/dp/B00GY4P49I/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=1-1&keywords=4+in+1+charger+lp-e6 I'm...

indeed, maybe that is what I need to accept. I'm just looking at some shots from my 70-300 and wondering if I really need this, maybe I'll ditch it. tempting to switch the 50 and that for the 85

im very much the same here in the uk, i recently sold my 17-40 to get 16-35 f4 IS.

do it, it seems so hard to do until you decide to

have to say thats my concern, theres no point in bringing all the kit if you don't have it on you when you are presented with a shot. I'll be backpacking so travelling light is key. The idea of taking the 50 along is that I could potentially just take that out of a day.

cheers :) Yeah I've been able to wangle a career break so I'm really excited just a case of saving like mad now.

ST4, like you say can't really go wrong with that range. Have a great trip! Bill, you are totally right, I've toyed with that idea so many times but can't get passed the idea ill miss some great shots - although i=I realise I will probably get ones I wouldn't have otherwise. It would be great...

a good shout, thanks for the reply. the 24-70 usually lives on one of my bodies too. If I was limited to one I'd be tempted to do the same though it is a heavy b****r. Good point about a backup body but I can't justify the weight really. Worst case scenario I'd post home and my other posted out...

Hi all, this is pretty much an unanswerable question but thought it would be interesting to discuss. IT will vary I guess depending on what your preferences of photography are but interested to hear thoughts, especially from those who have travelled with camera gear over a long period of time...

135 f2 too :) those rare occasions it comes out it produces beautiful images
