Very versatile and good IQ imo. Are you taking the flash? If not, I'd bring nifty as well. 40D - Rebel XT

I'm going to be taking my 24-70, a sigma 8mm fish, 2 flashes and the st-e2 (with my gripped 350D). I'll put up with carrying the gear to be able to take the shots I want. ~Andrew~

fb1903 Hatchling 4 posts Joined Mar 2008 More info | Mar 12, 2008 00:44 | #13 If backpacking is first and photography second, I can see why you would choose not to bring the whole set of gear. Makes perfect sense. If it were me, I'd take a Sigma 17-70 as this would provide a good focal range and still retain good quality... 'tho any 17-X would work well too.
