[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 153817, member: 13076"] I'll third the "bring all lenses" credo. I'm curious, so you have the 35 F1.8 dx, 50 f1.8 (?), and 105....? I think my own decision would be based on what I would be [I]doing[/I] in Paris. If you are just sight-seeing, then the 18-105 would be enough. But if you are actually going there to do [B][I]photography[/I][/B], then I would be using the primes and taking my time to really capture the sights. If you are just playing the shutterbug, then the 18-105 would be ok for going from moment to moment. But if you are on a mission to seriously capture one of the most beautiful cities in the world, then it deserves the best lenses, namely the primes. Personally I will shoot with one prime for a while, then shift my frame of mind (excuse the pun) to a different one, depending on my mood. One compromise would be take the 18-105 because that is full coverage of the focal lengths plus you don't have a wide angle prime, and then take the 35 mm for low light, more exacting work. I would probably not want to leave the 50 at home if you plan to shoot people/portraits. The 105 is probably the most dispensible of the four lenses. Plus keep in mind that you can vary the lenses you bring with you on any given day. Take the 18-105 every day but then vary it with either the 35, 50 or 105 so that you give yourself a chance to work with those focal lengths in a more focused way. [/QUOTE]
