There's little reason to carry teleconverters unless you know for a fact that you might need one. Bring one only, and bring your favorite lens.
My kit for the UK trip is:
DA14 A24/2.8 FA28-105 A50/1.4 M85/2 F100-300
I don't expect to use the F100-300 or the M85 very much, but I do want the options...

Everyone, I'm trying to finalize my kit for London and I've hit a snag. Here's the kit I'm planning to take to London:
*istD Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Tam 1.4x and 2x TCs Sigma 15mm fisheye
I'm trying to figure out if I should take my Tam 90mm macro with me. I put
it in the bag and it makes it significanly heavier, and I'll have to lug it
around everywhere for a week. But I'm afraid that I'll regret it if I leave
it at home, since it's one of my most-used lenses. Nate says I should just
bring it, but he carries 5 lenses with him everywhere.
So, would you leave one of your favorite lenses at home if it made your kit
significantly lighter? I can kind of cover the macro with all the other
stuff I'm bringing, but the Tam 90 is such a great lens...
Thanks, Amita
