My teenage son is traveling to Germany with his school, and I was thinking of sending him with one of my old 6Ds and a 17-40mm f4 lens. Two questions, as I haven't traveled to Europe since I got into photography.
Is it better to pack extra batteries or an adapter for a charger? He won't run a battery dry in a day, so recharging would be an option.
I feel like a 24-105mm would be a better universal lens, but I don't have one. They're not terribly priced as used options, but I don't know how much we'd use it after the trip. My own lens collection is mostly primes not the best for travel or an inexperienced shooter. From anybody that has travel experience, is a 17-40mm appropriate?
