I'm heading to Prague in a few weeks. Any recommendations for what lens to bring along with me?

Probably exactly the same selection you'd use for shooting in New York or Boston . . .

Seriously - depends how light you want to travel. Me, I'd take everything except the 70-200.

I'd want something UWA. Praque has oodles of old buildings/churches, etc.

Ideally - I want to stick with one to two lens. Or I might bring my m43 instead. What have you guys brought in the past?

I used 17-55f2.8 last september. Prague comes alive at night and looks great all lit up :cool:

I took my 15-85 and my 100-300. I used the 15-85 mostly.

EDITED due to posting Budapest info instead of Prague.

Been to Prague twice. It is not like Boston or New York. Prague is a beautiful city with many narrow streets, architectural details, very wide Old Square, small alleys in the Castle. You will want to have your 15-85 with you, using mostly the wide end. And for low light conditions, where you cannot use a flash or a tripod, e.g., inside the churches and museums, take the 30mm 1.4. I do not think you will need anything else.
