Hi, thanks for the fast response

So do you recomend to use almost the entire time my 18-55mm but also carry with me 55-250mm? or just let it home?

About the filters do you have some advice?

Thanks

I guess it depends on how you feel. Sometimes I travel with lots of lenses in my bag but it stresses me out changing to find the best shot! I think experience will help you know. The 55-250 though can probably slide in to a loose pocket to be honest or wont take much space in a bag, and it is very light.

Yeah i can carry the lens on my bag, it could be useful at any time.

I did consider the ef-s 15-85 lens as a good lens for this type of trip. But instead i got a 17-50 2.8 for the low light. Not sure if any would be suitable for you. However, your two lenses from 18-250 in total should cover nearly every eventuality i'd think. Should be an enjoyable trip for you!

Hum at the moment i´m not thinking to buy any lens. Just want to use this 2 as many as i can and gain more experience in photography.

I bought the 55-250mm to sports and animals at long distance, i will try to use it in best way.

Thank you!

i took the 55-250 to India and took great shots of wild green parakeets and also of big mammals in a zoo. And got some great in flight shots at a bird of prey sanctuary show in the U.K. It also gave me some great landscape shots. I think you’ll have great fun with it!

I hope so!

Attached is an example image I like from the 55-250 lens. I’m not sure adding from my phone has shown the full quality. But it looks great on the PC. If it looks low quality I’ll try to add from the Pc tomorrow.
