Re: 24-70/2.8 lens

Yes, a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens is very good to have on a trip. Not everyone likes to carry the weight and bulk, but the focal length range is very appropriate for so many images, and f/2.8 is helpful in low light. I have a Nikkor 24-70/2.8G, an ergonomic marvel, that pairs very well with a Nikon D700. My teen nephew and I traveled, last June, from SE Texas, across the Old South, into the southern Pennsylvania, DC, and northern Virginia area. I wore a D700 and 24-70/2.8G on a Peak Design Slide strap, almost the entire time.

I wear a badge and pistol, and make evidentiary images at night, which incorporates elements of portrait, macro, still life, landscape, architecture, and PJ. I enjoy using both Canons and Nikons.
