Just came back from vacation in Istanbul, Myconos, etc.

I took my 5DMk3, 24-105L, 100-400 Mk2, and a Samyang 14mm f2.8. My full camera bag weights 5.5 kg. I am not advising you to take all your gears. It is just me.

I agree with most posters here suggesting you to go wide and long, since your other family members can cover the middle.

Here are some of my shots on the wide and long ends:

Dome of Süleymaniye Mosque at 14mm

Shot from a Bosphorus cruise with Blue Mosque (L) and Hagia Sophia (R) peeking above the trees

Mykonos windmill at 14mm

Sunset before getting back to the ship at Mykonos cruise ship pier

I am still post-processing my photos. You can see them here:
