Re: Travel Zoom - Do I need one?

Depend on where you're going and what you're planning to shoot. If you go to Europe, you will be shooting a lot of streets and architectures so you can easily get away without a zoom lens. A 12mm (or 14), 23mm and/or 35mm should be enough. If you travel to somewhere in which there are many places you can't zoom with your feet, a 55-200 is essential.

I will be traveling to Asia next month and plan to bring 12mm, 35mm and 55-200 with me.
