Hi everyone.. I just wanted to get your advice on figuring out what are the best lenses for me to take for a trip on a Disney cruise followed by a trip to Walt Disney World.
Right now, I only have the following three lenses for a Canon 5D Mark III:
- 70-200 f2.8 II
- 24-105 f4
- 50 f1.4
Right now, my plan was to take all three lenses with me, but doing so would mean having to take a big backpack to fit the 70-200. I figure that even though the 70-200 is a heavy lens, it would still be reasonable to carry around on a cruise ship, whereas I can switchover to the 50 f1.4 as a walkaround lens while I'm at the parks, and maybe use the 24-105 where I need the extra zoom..
What I'm really debating right now is whether I should leave the 70-200 at home and just take the other two lenses, or take all three. I also have a 1 year old, and I always seem to get my best and sharpest shots with the 70-200.. so I'm hesistant on leaving it behind. I find that the 24-105 is somewhat limited unless you have perfect daylight, leaving me with the 50.. which is a great lens, but of course cannot provide you with reach when you need it.
So I wanted to get all your thoughts on this.. have any of you taken a 70-200 on board a cruise ship let alone to the parks? Is all that weight really worth the amazing shots I'm sure to get? Or should I leave it and just rely on the other lenses?
Thanks!!
