What camera gear do you take with you on your travels?
An often asked question. With as many different answers as the amount of responders.
My decision is based on a whim, in most instances. The time of day/night when I start packing. And my mood. Very important that..my mood. And if I have had my Omneprazole or not..
Therefore, please do not take my choices ( and specially my advice seriously )...I am nowadays not serious about anything.
I, most often, have traveled with only one camera, and a max of 1 or 2 primes. I have traveled with just a P&S. My wife usually travels just with her P&S...but not always.
Ayesha went to the Balkans. She took her fuji XT-1 and the kit 18-55mm lens. All images posted here are with that setup.
I went the other way. I went to the Philippines. It was a longer than usual trip for me. Almost 3 weeks.
This is what my gear looked like, after removing the Nikon 24-120mm f/4 VR lens.
I am predominantly a prime lens user. 50/1.4 is my choice. That went in.
Add to this a portrait prime. Why? Coz I thought I would be taking portraits of locals. 85mm is my choice FL for this.
A WA lens. For those rice terraces you see being posted here. Quite a few are with the 50 and 85 too!
I am paranoid, at times, about a camera failing on me. So add another body.
What did I actually take? Tune in for the next post.
