Good morning,
I'm scheduled to take a hot-air balloon ride tomorrow morning, and am planning
on taking the K-5, 10-17, 16-45, 50-200, and polarizer.
Is that too much? Any advice?
You could probably leave both the 10-17 and the 16-45 with the chase
vehicle. About the only time I used wides when on a balloon flight (I
probably been on 50 balloon flights) was to take pictures of the people
in the basket. IIRC, the 16-45 isn't a ginormous lens, so you could
probably slip it into a pocket, though whether you will use it is debatble.
A word to the wise, balloon landings are sometimes VERY rough, and
things can get bounced around pretty good. Any blunt objects that aren't
well stowed can be quite dangerous if the winds are more than a few
knots during the landing.
