DSLR equipment, what to bring?
Still haven’t decided on what I should bring of my DSLR equipment. I wish I had room for all of it so I won’t miss out on any photo opportunities, but I know that is not realistic.
I think I’ll go for the 50mm f/1.8 for action/competition/training shots, 8mm fisheye for scenery and either my high quality 20-35mm or cheap 18-55mm. I’ll see what I can find room for in the bag…

That’s a hard one.
With the 50mm and the 8mm i think your going to find yourself wanting alot more zoom during your travels. I know i do.
If the 18-55mm is the kit lens then i wouldnt bother taking it.
Take you 20-35mm or something with zoom over 50mm since you already have your 50mm 1.8
I’ve been traveling with a 50mm 1.8, 17-50mm 2.8 and a 11-16mm 2.8 for wides.
I really really wish i had something with more zoom now.

Yeah I could use some more zoom, but the only one I have at the moment is the 18-55 kit lens and probably not going to invest in anything new at this moment.

Go for the 20-35 if it’s a 2.8 because you already have the 50mm 1.8
and the kit lens 18-55 will have an f-stop of 5.6 at the 55mm end which will be crap in dark situations.
just my 2 cents
