PLAN TO TAKE WITH: - EOS 1V (primary plus backup) - 24-70 2.8 - 70-200 with 1.4x & 2x Debated between the f4 or the 2.8 IS. IS 2.8 would be nice, but it's big and very noticeable. I've probably settled on the f4 given that it's a little less obtrusive. Just a shame it's not available in black & lacks the rubber seal. In any case, I will have the 2.8 24-70 if needed for the indoors shots or rainy weather. - Gitzo 1228 tripod w/arca swiss (for night shots) - Lowe Pro off-road bag (just fits 1V with lens attached and 1 extra lens) MIGHT TAKE WITH: - 28-135 IS (leave that in the hotel with the backup 1V just in case) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- Instead of the 70-200 why not consider a Canon or Tamron 28-200mm or Tamron 28-300mm. Providing you do not need the F2.8 you will still get plenty of range and quality at the mid-apertures. Also, you will have a Lowe Pro off road, the appearance of which says I am a tourist with a nice camera please rob me. I would suggest a less obvious camear bag. Something less noticeable. A friend uses an old diaper bag when traveling, something that no one except an idiot would think of stealing considering the typical contents. Alternatively go to an Army/Navy store and pick up a small ammo bag or similar. For theft deterrent be watchful and do not get caught in tight crowds were things can disappear quickly.
