Traveling to Rome, looking for some lens suggestions

Since you have the DX format, everything must be multiplied by 1.5 to determine the actual mm you end up with. Most of what you’ll shoot will be wider angle stuff (inside cathedrals, the Coliseum, the Forum, the Trevi Fountain, etc). If you can get (or buy) a DX 12-24 (ends up as a 15 x 36), take that. If not, opt for the 16-35 (ends up as a 24 x 52.5mm lens). And, also take the 24-70 (ends up a 36 x 71.5 mm lens). Leave the rest home. It’s dead weight. The only thing you need reach for is if you want a picture that’s on top of a building façade or some gargoyle (one, or two, of all you will shoot). Unless, of course, you want to shoot candid shots, from a distance, of the citizens (and, ask yourself, how many of those will you take)?
