Mt Yasur, Vanuatu lens advice

[janmaxim]

Hi

I am travelling to Vanuatu in a few weeks, and I am going to go to the activity volcano Mt Yasur. Have anyone been here before?

I currently have a 24-105mm and an 35mm with a 6D salong with a tripod. Is this good enough to get the critical shots? Or would I miss out by not bringing a telephoto lens?

I haven't been to Mt Yasur but I was recently in Vanuatu I didn't see any wildlife worth using a telephoto, I only shot with a 14mm the whole trip for seaside landscapes. Not sure if there is anything different on mt Yasur

I hope that helps

I've not been there, but it certainly looks like an interesting place to see.

I'd guess a 24-105 should be sufficient ... unless there's even more volcanic activity than here ... then I#d want a longish tele lens.

I never shot on a volcano, but, fromwhat I read, I think it's pretty important to have something wider than 'just' 24mm. Depending on your Budget, a Rokinon/Bower/Samyang/Walimex 2.8/14mm, a Tokina 2.8/16-28mm, any Zeiss UWA prime or even the new Canon 4/16-35 would certainly serve the purpose.
