Off to New York in the next couple of weeks and I'm already taking my newly purchased 10-22mm as well as my 18-55mm kit lens. I don't fancy carting the 70-200mm around the City, but am I going to regret leaving it in the office?

Unless you plan on shooting close-up candids, I'd leave it at home. The 10-22 will capture more than enough scenery that I'm sure you'll enjoy.

There are certainly photo ops for the lens, however it's more common to take the WA lenses, and some primes.

I'd take the 10-22, 18-55, and the 50 1.4.

I think all you need is the 10-22!

I would take 10-22 and 50 1.4, and leave 70-200 behind. You won't have the room on crowded streets to fully utilize it.

I happen to love street photography, candid portraits, etc. For me the 70-200 is a must.

Yeah, this is true.
And I usually bring my 70-200 to other cities thinking that.
But then I become trigger shy when I get there!
Go figure.

I just got back from NYC and the only lens that I took with me was my 35L. I was gonna take the 17-40, but felt that I was being repetitive in focal lengths. When I got there I was kicking myself for leaving it at home.

I can't imagine leaving that lens out on a trip to NYC!
