My wife and I are headed to Epcot for a one day visit next month.
I had originally planned on taking my 16-35 f/4 L on my 6D and my EF 40mm f/2.8 STM but, I've since thought about taking the 24-105 f/4 L instead.
I guess I could take both but I would like to travel as light as possible.
For those who have been there and done that...?

Thanks. :-)

24-105 for sure. You'll wish you had more reach with your 16-35. I spent a day with my 17-40 and felt way too limited. Having the 105mm was nice.


I like gear and I have too much.

Thanks for the info. It's kind of what I was thinking but I really like the 16-35 on the 6D.
I guess I'll pack them both along. :-)

When I was in England last fall, my main lenses were the 24-105 f/4 and the 16-35 f/4, but I used the 24-105 probably 90% of the time.

I agree, take both if you can. As Sourcehill said, having the 105 is nice.

Epcot may be the only theme park in Orlando you would get a ton of use out of anything longer than 85mm on FF. I used my 135L only for the 7:00 parade at MK, everything else is standard length or WA.

Use the 24-105 for the family photos, and the 16-35 for the light show at night.

Both for sure. The only thing missing is a fast prime for some inside(dark-ride) stuff.

If you want to travel light and just take one lens, the 24-105 is it.

I used this lens for 90% of the photos I took last time I was there. I had also brought my 17-40 and 50mm and rarely felt the urge to mount them.

I am going again next week and am bringing the 24-70 and 100mm macro.
