Hi on August 13 at 9.30 am I will have my turn to visit the Lower Antelope Canyon. I own a Sony alpha 7 III and I'm torn between using my Samyang fe 18mm f2.8 fixed focal length or the Sony fe 24-105 F4. Do you have any recommendations? Even on any machine settings, obviously hoping it's a sunny day. Unfortunately I know that the guides tend to be hasty and I would like not to waste my time, also because I think it is not recommended to change the optics in the canyon.

While I doubt shutter noise would be noticed on a group tour of Antelope Canyon, I've been in some museums, cathedrals, etc., where even a single shot is noticed.
I agree on getting a new or seldom used technique in hand before needing it. No reason to be rushed on a rare opportunity when practice in advance is usually easy and available.

…if shooting handheld.
If you book a photography tour you are allowed to take a tripod and then you can take the 12-24GM or the 16-35GM.

Ouch, sorry for the misinformation then. Attended the photo tour back in 2010 myself and the guides were openly asking why nobody (except me) brought a tripod - seems like they changed their attitude.
BTW, there are still Antelope Canyon X (not upper/lower) photo tours that allow to bring a tripod.
Anyway, recommendation for 24-105/4 remains since it has OSS and that beats a 1 stop faster aperture any day for static scenes.
