Lens Advise for Europe Vacation

A lot of good comments about the weight I'll be carrying. It's definitely a concern, but my plan is to take the six lenses I've listed, but only carry three at a time (perhaps only two if I'm lugging the 70-200mm). I do a fair amount of urban exploring (Detroit area), and am used to hauling a body + four lenses, flash, and tripod. And those familiar with Detroit urban exploring (probably not many in this forum) will know that means a LOT of stairs. It's definitely taxing on the legs, hips, and shoulders, but that's what ducking into a pub for a pint or two is for. :-)

Good advice on the low light situations. That's the only reason I'm bringing the 35mm f/1.4 even though the focal range overlaps with my 24-70mm. Having the extra two stops of light will be essential inside.

And I'm always used to getting screened by airport security. That's why I always arrive as early as possible. That and my customary pre-flight beer. :-)

Thanks! I'm sure your pics will turn out great. You will have to post them when you get back. You will get a great workout carrying all that gear and getting some miles under your feet. Be sure to stop on occasion and enjoy a 5 euro cup of espresso at a sidewalk café and do some people watching... There are lots of good looking people in Paris!
