[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 308694, member: 13076"] You: D800 24-120 16-35 50 1.8G SB900 That's it plus filters. No second body because your wife already has a second body. No triggers, no meter. Wife: D7100 10.5 18-200 35 1.8G (no second set of filters except for what are on the lenses) No 70-200 f2.8s. Unless you are doing event shooting, everything is close enough unless you plan to do birding. No macros. The 35 1.5G focuses pretty close. Remember a D800 gives you such incredible cropping ability that you don't necessarily need a dedicated macro, and personally I don't think you'll have the time to sit down and set up macro shots. Bring a small table-top tripod. One flash is enough. Airlines go as much by size as weight for carry-on. If it doesn't fit in their size check aluminum frame, you will have to check it and you don't want to do that. Err on the side of a smaller bag or make sure the dimensions match the specs for the airline as mentioned. I would NEVER EVER EVER leave my camera equipment in a hotel room. US hotels are not responsible for lost or stolen items from the hotel room and they will suggest you put your valuable items in the hotel safe, or some hotels like the good ones in Vegas have a locking steel drawer by the bed that could fit a camera body and smaller lenses but not bigger lenses. So if you want to have that much equipment, be prepared to have it with you all the time, or risk losing it. I got by in Vegas with a D800, 50mm 1.4G, 85mm 1.4G and SB-800. That was it. If I had the 24mm 2.8 with me at the time I would have had that as well but that would be all I need: [URL]http://nikonites.com/low-light-night/20465-nikon-d800-night-las-vegas.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
