I'm leaving for Alaska tomorrow and will be taking my 100-400mm lens and will let you know how it does when I get back in a week if you want.

But what lens you need depends on what you plan to be shooting.

I went to Alaska last month. Your decision is based whether you are planning on photographing animals or just landscapes. I used my 17-55 most of the time. You need at least 300mm+ to get a shot of wildlife.

I am leaning towards 100-400 and 16-35... Thanks!
