Mark, if you plan to visit the classical Italian Cities do not forget to carry a SWA Lens like the Sigma 10-20. The streets are pretty narrow and you will suddenly find yourself in a huge square with very tall monuments, Churches and Towers which the standard 16 or 18 mm lenses cannot cope with. I found the Sigma 10-20 and the Tamron 28-300 a great carry on - short and light too - not tiring at all. I left behind my fast f 2.8 Zooms - too big and heavy. In many of the monuments tripods are a no no, so find out in advance. And be careful of gear, passports and cash/credit cards being stolen - Italy is pretty bad for this organized crime, especially in parts of Rome. Have fun and good luck. Bipin - from that far away enchanting land.
