Great shot Peter!
400mm f5.6 at 1/10s?? Is it the new 100-400f/4.5-5.6L IS? Love the details with your 400mm inside Hagia Sophia. It proves me right bringing my 70-200f/4 L IS for exactly this use indoors.
I fell for the pressure of good advice here and just bought a EF16-35f/4L IS and I will bring 16-35/4, 24-70f/2.8L and 70-200f/4L IS. I will carry all three the first days. It will be interesting to se what lens gets the most use 16-35 or 24-70?
How was it and could you make the images you wanted ?
I've been in Lissabon for 5 days and made some images with my plastic 50SX and G7X

The set is not ready yet, but hey, just follow
It was my first cruise (Emerald Princess) and I am more than happy with the cruise and my 3 lenses! The 16-35f/4L IS was my most used lens perfect in many occasions outside and even more inside were IS really made a difference. I used my 70-200f/4L IS a lot more than i could imagine and only a few times wished for a longer lens. The 24-70f/2.8L was used a lot less than I thought mainly due to lack of IS.
My preliminary estimate of % lens used:
45% 16-35f/4L IS
35% 70-200f/4L IS
20% 24-70f/2.8L
Lesson learned: Bringing all 3 lenses was mostly redundant, better to bring 1 or 2 lenses.
1 lens: 24-70f/2.8L
2 lenses: 16-35f/4L IS and 70-200f/4L IS
Thanks again!
PS
Now I have over 4500 photos to process and as a not very happy, marooned Apple Aperture user I first have to decide on moving to LR6 or C1 Pro. Subscription is out of the question and I am afraid that Adobe will not offer any more stand alone version after LR6. I really do not want to be abandoned by a RAW/DAM software again! C1 Pro is first on my list. I will download a 30 day trial this or next weekend.
