Going to Greece

[HOCKEYSTOP]

I am going to Greece in April. I am Planning on taking my 40D. I am buying a Tokina 12-24 and a Sigma 70-200 for the trip. What else should I be taking? I will buy what ever I need to for this trip. This is new to me so I want to be prepared. This is what I have right now for equipment.

Canon 40D (with normal kit stuff)
35-128 Kit Lens (I am going to sell)
Tokina 12-24 (purchasing next week)
Sigma 70-200 f2.8 (purchasing in 6 weeks)
2 CF cards (1gig & 4gig)
Dakine Camera Block Bag that fits in my backpack

Any Help would be great. I want to make this a great trip with lots of pictures.

That depends where in Greece - without knowing what you're going to be seeing you cant really say.

1 day in Athens and 6 days in Santorini.

OK not much of Greece and bypassing most of the main sites then.

For Athens you're bound to visit the Acropolis. Fairly compact site where a standard range lens and/or wide angle is fine - no need for telephoto there.

Thira again unlikely to need telephoto - just the usual cliche shots of white buildings with the crater rim in the background etc. If i were you id take something 30mm-50mm range as well.

I went to both Athens and Santorini this past summer. All i used was a 5d and a 24-105 in both places. I found that 24 was plenty widefor me, so i think that the Tokina will good enough. Also you might want to bring more CF cards.

OK, trip is now booked. 3 nights in Mykonos, 3 nights in Santorini, and 2 nights in Athens. I am going to take the Tokina 12-24 and Sigma 70-200. Do you think I should take the 28-135? I am also taking 2 - 4 gig CF card and 2 - 8 gig CF cards. A battery grip with 3 batterys and now I am working on a tripod. Any ideas on a tripod would help, looking for somthing small that will hould the 40D, grip, 70-200, and I would like to spend about $150 to $200. :p

You really do want a lens in the 30-50mm range.

If i had to leave one i'd leave the 70-200
