Thanks for the kind comments.

WRT Ta Prohm,we visited in June,which is regarded as low season.I found the trick when the large coach parties descended was to hang back a few minutes because they invariably stormed in took their selfies and were then off like a plague of locusts.

Joe,interested and a bit disappointed to learn the tree has only recently been roped off,was hoping to recreate a photo of my wife,taken when we first visited over ten years ago.I find my K5ii,the 16-85 and 55-300 covers most eventualities.

For anyone interested,there are (a lot) more shots from the same trip on my flickr pages here:

Those are good choices for travel lenses but personally I could not have visited it without the Sigma 8-16mm, it looks made for some UWA shooting. I looked at your flickr pages, thanks for a glimpse of this wonderful place.

An UWA would have been useful.As I was travelling for ten weeks around Asia I was carrying the bare minimum. In fact I only took the K5ii,16-85 and a Sony RX100 as abackup. Longer term I hope to acquire an UWA lens.
