Re: Gear advice for trip to UK/northern france

I'll run a bit contrary to advice so far .

For lowest weight/least space I'd bring just the 18-55is , couple chips, extra battery and charger. No flash - find a prop - a jacket over a seat/rock makes an impromptu tripod for me at long as I don't try to stop motion. If you think you'll be shooting from higher spots - hills towers whatever I'd bring 55-250is as the second lens - given space and weight - to pick out particulars - isolate a cottage statue cathedral or whatever. And I like having a second lens for backup . Covering 18-250 is alot for little weight.

Just my $0.02 - fwiw

Whatever you choose - good luck
