Welcome to NZ
Much of the area you will be travelling through is big sky country, so wide is good. The equivalent of 20-24mm ideal. Our light can be very harsh even in winter, so a UV filter is advised.
Make sure you do the drive north from Queenstown through Cromwell to Lake Tekapo; lovely sweeping roads through the southern lakes, sadly patrolled by revenue hungry cops. It's Ferrari country where you could cruise fast were it not for the radar; at the end of a long straight there is a sign advising you to slow down - to the speed limit.
The Church of the Good Shepherd at Tekapo is a NZ cliché but none the less lovely for that. Compulsory.
Thank you for the kind advice on the roads/ route John. I am from Colorado and definitely know the tendency of police in smaller towns to have fun ticketing tourists. Not a fun part of any trip!

The Sony ZV-E1 is a full frame camera targeting YouTubers. Chris and Jordan are Youtubers, what do they think?
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.
There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional film productions or even A-cameras for amateur and independent productions. We've combed through the options and selected our two favorite cameras in this class.
What’s the best camera for around $2000? These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both the speed and focus to capture fast action and offer professional-level image quality. In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing around $2000 and recommended the best.
Family moments are precious and sometimes you want to capture that time spent with loved ones or friends in better quality than your phone can manage. We've selected a group of cameras that are easy to keep with you, and that can adapt to take photos wherever and whenever something memorable happens.
What's the best camera for shooting sports and action? Fast continuous shooting, reliable autofocus and great battery life are just three of the most important factors. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting sports and action, and recommended the best.
