Hawaii, with 35L be enough?

I'm going to Hawaii with some family after final exams..
I usually shoot with two full frame bodies, 35L and 85mm 1.8.
But i obviously don't want to bring both bodies, and i really don't want to change lenses n be so concerned while on vacation. Will the 35L be enough?
I would imagine most of my shots will be landscape and scenery.

EDIT: I ended up going to Maui with just my 35L+5D2 and an S95. Bad idea i know.. but it worked out fine for me. I got lots of shots i was happy with. I missed my 85mm sometimes, but i managed to deal with it and work around it. The S95 was useful if i needed some length or just to have with him if i didnt feel like bringing my 5D2.

Here's a thread with some images.

There are some pretty cool plants in hawaii..

Will the 35l on a ff body allow you to some macro work still? Do you even do macro work?

i like doing that myself its a good challange taking one lense, just don't get tempted to buy another while there, 35 would be fine for me

35L will be my first choice for only 1 lens trip

You'll be fine

Bring all your gear. You're going to Hawaii. Better to have it and not need it than the other way around.

I don't think 35L on ff is wide enough for landscape. You might want to invest on wide angle lens such as 17-40 or 16-35.

perfect vacation focal length - it's all I used in disney for the family.

Been there and numerous islands in the West Indies and the 35L is fine for the short end but i would highly suggest renting the 70-200 f2.8 MKII unless you already own it, and pack a telescopic monopod along in your baggage.

Great scenery close & far !

Regards.

I would rather take a good point-n-shoot camera on a trip like that rather than so severely limit photography options with just a single lens of any focal length.

Good Point !

My wife carried the P&S and i carried the DSLR & the 2 FL lens i suggested above.

The 85/1.8 won't take a lot of space - take it with you - if you don't use it, so be it, but if you need it, it's there.

I was thinking this exact thing too.
An excuse to pick up an s95! perfect!

I thought about it, i usually find myself with just a 5D2+35L when walking around, so i think i'll be fine. They will mostly be vacation pictures so it won't kill me to have a tele with me. I'll just have to get creative.

I am going to Bali in two weeks, and they are exactly what I am planning to bring, 5D2+35L.

I just came back from vacation (Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Turkey) and I have to say I appreciated having all my lenses with me even though some barely had use. Sucks hauling it around but I was happy to have the shot then to miss it.
