I debating what if anything to bring on a last minute trip we have been invited to fill in on for a couple that had to cancel. I have half a mind to leave everything at home and use my iPhone. The other half knows I would be constantly thinking about the shot I would take if I had my camera though the iPhone might make do.
I have a trip late September through early October to England and Ireland. My wife and I will be traveling with two other couples. We will arrive in London for a couple days, spend 6 days hiking northern part of the Cotswold Way, spend a couple days in Bath, and finally on to Ireland.
I am the only photographer and since a car will be transporting our luggage between cities during the Cotswold Way hike, I am limited to 20KG/44pounds in the suitcase and what I carry on my back. The way my wife packs, there will not be an option to have her carry any of my gear. I wouldn’t consider myself a landscape photographer and tend to primarily use long glass but do OK with landscape.
I have a Z 9 and only own 3 Z lenses; Z 50 1.2, Z 600 f/4 TC and Z 400 f/4.5. I will not be bringing a 600. I also still own a D850 and all the F prime zooms from the 14-24 to the 180-400 TC but find it tough to use the D850 much anymore except for macro and use with an underwater housing. One other option would be to borrow my daughters new compact, I think it is a Ricoh GR IIIx. Thanks
