[QUOTE="Brusader, post: 104607, member: 12347"] If you're going to be photographing stuff from a fair distance, I'd be tempted to take the 300mm. When I traveled in Africa, I only had my kit lens (18-135mm) which was really good, but a longer lens would have been great when we went to the local National Park. I also took a small point and click which ran on AA batteries (you can get AAs everywhere) which I could carry everywhere and not stress over crowds and standing out with expensive looking gear. I took more photos with the point & shoot (Samsung S860) than with my D80 as I always had it with me and most things you photograph aren't too far away. :) [/QUOTE]
