[QUOTE="Blade Canyon, post: 687941, member: 15302"] Here's the official recommendation with commentary from Scott Kelby in the August 2017 Shutterbug (and Yes I do sharpen in PS): [SIZE=4][COLOR=#444444][FONT=roboto][B]Q. I’m writing with the obligatory travel gear question. I’m taking a weeklong summer vacation to visit Rome, Florence, and Venice. I will be bringing a Canon 5D Mark III and a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. I’m trying to travel light (want to avoid divorce at the end of the trip) and balance the need for wide-angle and close-up details of church and museum ceilings. Would either a 1.4x or 2x extender be a possible solution, or would 24mm on the wide end work? Is a 70-200mm worth bringing? [/B][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#444444][FONT=roboto]A.
