    Heading to Indonesia during December and trying to decide what to take along.

    I have a Canon 60d with battery grip, grip is nearly 300grams so may decide to leave it, though am used to it.

    I've a nice little collection of lenses, each has it's own use.

    What would ye bring?


    Samyang 8mm Ultra Wide Angle f/3.5 Fisheye 443g
    Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM 290g
    Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC 445g
    Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L USM 705g
    Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM 470g
    Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM 670g

    I would bring the 24-105 for general use. I would bring the f1.4 for low light.

    I'd second that.... and leave that battery grip behind!

    I'd second those two choices but i'd bring the 10-20mm too. Landscapes with the 10-20mm, general/street with the normal zoom and the 50mm for low light.
