Hello everyone,

On December 10th 2024, we'll be heading to London then to Luxembourg and on to Andalucia Spain.  While there we'll be visiting Malaga, Cordova, Sevilla, and Granada.  I'll be bringing my R6 Mark II with the RF15-35mm f2.8, the RF24-105mm f4 and still deciding between the RF70-200mm or the 150-600mm lenses.  If anyone has any suggestions, pls let me know.  I think most of my shooting will be limited to street photography, architectural and landscape photography or anything that appears interesting.  😃  We'll be back on December 23, 2024 and post some pics.  If anyone has suggestions please let me know.

Cheers,
Joe

Hey Joe,

I took my Trinity + 100-500 to northern Europe in Aug this year.  I used my 15-35 and 24-70 the most, except for the the shots of Hollenkollem.  I could have done it with the 70-200.  

Many of streets in Norway and Denmark were fairly narrow.  I felt adequately covered with 15mm.  

I'd leave the 150-600 home unless you absolutely see yourself needing it.

I recommend adding an ultra wide angle lens.  Most of the most populated areas of Europe date back centuries.  Many streets and areas tend to be fairly tight.  This is also true indoors.

Hi Rick,

Thanks for your input, I was thinking along the same lines and definitely take the RF15-35 F2.8 and RF24-105 and most probably the RF 70-200mm.  I'll leave the 150-600mm...   hehehe 😀

Cheers,
Joe
