Equipment for Egypt, Israel, Greece, Turkey and more...

[Jesher]

I posted this in the general chat thread, and feel it's better here:

I'm heading to Egypt, Israel, Greece, Turkey, Italy and Cyprus for quite a while. I'm bringing along these lenses... what do you guys think?

Canon 16-35mm L f/2.8
Canon 24-105mm L f/4
Canon 50mm f/1.4

Each has a UV on for protection. I have a 77mm ND4 (for the 24-105mm)

Also a Circular for both the 16-35 and 24-105mm.

I'm using a 5d Mark II - I'm bringing along 64 gig of memory cards in a pelican case + some small 2 gigers. I like to shoot in RAW+JPEG, max. I am wondering if +JPEG is worth it..?

I'm also bringing my Gitzo Traveller.

What do you guys think for the Egypt part? I am beginning to think the 24-105mm is going to do just fine, and is the 16-35mm even worth bringing. The 50mm I plan on using in mosques and churches in other locations we are visiting, plus some of the tombs where photography is allowed in Egypt. I do NOT want to worry about changing lenses here, and I think the 24-105mm will work all around.

For the other locations, I can see a lot of use out of the 24-105mm - it's a great overall lens.

What do you guys think? When I did Galapagos/Machu Picchu I ended up using EVERYTHING from my set of lenses except the 100mm Macro (below in my sig) but each day was different!!!

Welp no answers and I'm outta here shortly. Since I'm not doing 'people' shots I'm not bringing the 70-300mm DO. Gonna bring the 16-35, 24-105 and 50mm...

Wish I could have gotten some insight from others who have been here, but it was a short notice.

See you all in a month!!!

Ended up bringing:

Canon 16-35mm L f/2.8
Canon 24-105mm L f/4
Canon 50mm f/1.4

Used the 24-105mm a lot and the 50mm was nice for indoor shots w/o flash. Didn't get a chance to use the tripod, and really didn't use the 16-35mm much...

Pics later!

what about Tele lens?
I saw your list and you did not use Tele Lens.
Now If you wanted to make list of lens for trip, would you add Tele lens to your list or not?

I would have only brought the 50mm and the 24-105mm.

I took the 5d with me. This allowed me to get some nice wide shots in with the main lens I was using.

Most of the shots I took were near the 35mm range though.
