Brave or stupid?

My husband and I are planning a three to four week traveling holiday with our three small children.
We are planning to hed from sunshine coast (where we live) to Goondawindi, through to Flinders Ranges, and back (maybe) through longreach or maybe just head back north east.

My question is, When I have a 28-80, and a 50m 1.8 lens, plus a really old 75-300 with a little fungus but still takes ok photos, wht lens should I add before going?

I have the 50 for portraits, so was thinking either a wide angle or the 85-250 canon,. I would have to buy second hand as we are saving for the holiday

I'm hoping to take some long exposure shots, so I'm thinking the wide angle would be better suited to this tri[, however, we will see lot of wildlife as well...not sure whether to take the old 300m ens and risk a great photos being a little dogy and get the wide angle, or the other way around?

Anyone have either of theese lenses in good nick for sale in Australia?


Thanks in advance for any valuable feed back!

And you're not bringing all three because....

I am.

The question was, shold I update my 75-300 or get a wide angle lens to take along?
Cheer, Lou

oh... i got ya.... I would suggest the ultra wide angle if you don't have one, and upgrade the medium telephoto later (as long as the current one works). If i only had the choice btwn the wide angel and the telephoto, I'd chose the telephoto... (in the event that your old telephoto isn't really up to par and needs an upgrade.)

Thanks Mike, yeah can't afford both unfortunatly, the old telephoto works fine, I havn't noticed anything in my photos, only what marks I see on the lens!

Ok, I'll go the wide angle, see if I can pick one up off here or ebay!
