BEST Lens for Travel ✈️

I think Tony puts his extra lenses in Chelsea's bag.

I just pack a nice sharp prime lens, and use post-processing methods like stitching, cropping and stacking. It's not perfect, but it's a lot easier and lighter to carry around, which means I actually bring my camera everywhere.

I take two lenses, 16-35 and the 70-200 which is heavy but the results are always epic

Just travelled through Europe and was very happy using a 5D Mk IV and 35mm 1.4. Felt like a perfect combination between lighter weight and versatility

I travel with a Leica M 28, 35, and 50. They are extremely small and fit in a small bag or coat pocket. All bought used.

I like the Fuji X-T2 with the Fuji 18-135. Light and affordable. If I think there my be birds or wildlife on my trip I’ll include the Fuji 100-400 with the 1.4 teleconverter. AND if there will be night photos I’ll throw in the Rokinon 12 mm manual focus. But lightest and easiest is #1.

I've found I'd much rather have a light lens and camera when I travel than haul around big lenses. I've also found that sticking with a good prime, like a 50mm, helps me worry less about framing and enjoy the trip more.

Canon or Sony FF with 24-105 f/4. The additional reach is worth more to me than the extra stop of light, but that's just me. I have to say Tony's Olympus setup is intriguing, but maybe gives up too much low light capability.

I would suggest the Olympus OM-D EM5 MKII with the Olympus 14-150 for travel. Light, excellent range and weatherproof. It is so nice to not to have to worry about the rain or snow when out and about. I can still get some great separation, its really about zoom and distance to subject compared to background. With a tripod and the highres shot function, I can get some very large high pixel files. Not for windy days or moving subjects, but its a nice feature that I have used on occasion.

Went to Disney World this past summer and brought my Nikon D500 with the Tamron 18-400 f/3.5-6.3 VC lens. Covered all ranges and as long as I was outdoor, it was perfect. Surprising sharpness, and allowed an incredible range with only one lense. Mighty recommend.

I spent two weeks in Europe with a Canon EF-M 18-150mm STM Lens on an M5 and was very pleased. Did not have to bring another lens. Since then, I got the M 18-55 and M 11-22 for close ups and wide angles. Their apertures aren't the best but they get the job done.

I would go with the Olympus 12-40mm F2.8 for travel. It lets in so much more light than that superzoom. It is also a bit sharper and a little more contrasty. Weather sealing is great and it is built like a tank. When I travel the that is super important. I know MFT doesn't have as shallow DOF as a 35mm size sensor, but at 80mm you can get some bokeh in tigher portraits. When I travel that is my main lens and I bring a prime for when I want a shallower DOF, but most of the time this Olympus 12-40mm is perfect. The Panasonic 12-35 is a bit smaller, but I find that extra reach 40mm versus 35mm is worth it and to take quite a lot at 80mm.

I travel with a Leica SL and the Leica Vario-Elmarit zoom 24-90mm. This combo pretty much covers all my needs. Going up to 90mm instead of the usual 70mm was a wise decision by Leica.

"i like to travel light"
Metabones and Canon 24-70...
WTF

[rickakacdogtoo]

My carry around setup is a canon 6D and the 24-70 f2.8. I have a waist bag that I use which is easy to carry and adds room for my 70-200 f4, a spare battery and cards. I have lugged this configuration hundreds of miles of backcountry hiking as well as family vacations and events. It is heavy, my family thinks I am crazy to carry the extra weight, but to me, the photo quality I get is worth the effort.

[kopelsage]

If you're a Sony FF user the Tamron 28-75 is a no brainer!

[myroadtours]

My landscape/walking around setup is D800 and 24-120mm F4 and 20mm 1.8. The 24-120mm F4 was basically free. Nikon included it with the cost of a D750 a while back. So I bought the kit, kept the 24-120 and sold the D750.

[viji]

Do you want to touch it?
Oohoo🙃
That line made my day!!😂😂

[RaviRaj_OM]

I keep a zoom lense 70-300 AF-P attached to my Nikon for the optical zoom shots / extra reach. Its not that heavy either.

For landscape or wide shots, I simply use mobile. I find this setup much more convenient and practical for a casual photography.

No need to worry about changing lenses outdoors.
