[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 308635, member: 9240"] Here's my take. For the parks the 16-35mm and 24-120mm are mandatory. I'm trying to think of how often I was on the long range of my 28-300mm when I visited Yosemite and San Fran in 2011, and I'm thinking that while they are great lenses, having [I]two[/I] 70-200mm f/2.8's with you may just be overkill. If you're looking more for wildlife than for landscapes then you may just be able to get away with leaving the 24-120mm at home, but like you, that's my every day lens and I can't imaging leaving home without it. Yes, the 50mm is small, but I can't see you using it other than [I]just because I brought it[/I]. I suspect 1 macro will be enough, but it depends a lot on your plans, and you could find some interesting minutia in some of those places. If you insist on two 70-200mm's then take only one macro. You're going to a lot of wonderful places, so I totally understand the desire to not leave anything behind. That said, I don't see a tripod in your kit. [/QUOTE]
