Re: Best lenses for cruise/ vacation Istanbul, Myconos, Valetta, Pompei & Rome

Thanks irm and arty H!

Really pleased with my 24-70/2.8L II. Only two complaints: lack of IS and weight (805g).
My old 20D stays at home.

Preliminary packlist option one:

6D

24-70/2.8L II - Main lens on 6D.

70-200/4L IS - In small backpack for details, candids and general long reach from ship.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not yet made up my mind but really tempted to buy a 16-35/4L IS and if i do that bring all three lenses.

Preliminary packlist option two:

6D

16-35/4L IS - In small backpack for indoors low light (IS) and ultrawide.

24-70/2.8L II - Main lens on 6D.

70-200/4L IS - In small backpack for details, candids and general long reach from ship.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One option is to limit myself to 16-35/4L IS and 70-200/4L IS. I imagine that 16-35mm covers most of my vacation needs and in some cases perhaps even better than the 24-70mm alone and especially when paired to a 70-200mm?

Preliminary packlist option three:

6D

16-35/4L IS - Main lens on 6D

70-200/4L IS - In small backpack for details, candids and general long reach from ship.

Which option causes the least frequency of lens changes?

Best options, good or bad?
