Going to shoot my sister's wedding in Kentucky, then leaving from there to go to Key West for the week. Since there's a wedding in there, I'm taking all the gear in my signature plus some wireless triggers and an extra flash. Debating whether of not to take the 150-500. Don't see where I'll need it for anything and it takes up alot of space in m y bag. Anyone think it would be necessary?

For reference, most of my morning will be spent in CPE, afternoons free, but I think the plan is to stay right around the city.

My brother in law is a police officer in Key West. So, you better behave! LOL

Are you planning any serious photography in the keys? I think you may want to take it. If you like the shoot birds, taking a charter off shore... the lighthouse... It just depends on the type of photography you are planning. I would take it.

That's not a real job, is it? ;)

Another vote for the 150-500. Isn't wildlife the reason you bought it in the first place?

It is. Just sure that i will have the time to see any. I know one day we're doing the butterfly place, one day the aquarium, one evening a sunse cruise. Not sure I can fit in something more.
