Re: Lens for Antarctic Trip

The other thing about Antarctica and other cold ship shooting that needs to be discussed.  This is tripod vs monopod vs beanbag for stability.  Our trip was composed of two types of photographers. 1) professionals who always shoot with a tripod, generally off ship  - and had brought a young woman (spouse?) to carry their gear.  2) everybody else - this group often shot from the deck of the ship - where tripods and monopods are useless because of ship vibrations.  This group made good use of beanbags (which they could carry themselves.
