[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 421515, member: 25095"] I usually travel with the 24-120 f/4, but possibly not for the reason(s) you're thinking. I decided on the 24-120 because of the focal lengths available, and the relatively fast fixed aperture. Carrying the 24-120 means I don't have to swap lenses (and carry both) between the 24-70 and 70-200, while still being able to cover a good bit of that range. The fixed f/4 aperture doesn't come into play much for outdoors "landscape" type shots, but does pay off when indoors with the family. I have primes that overlap with the 24-120's focal length (20, 35, 50, and 85), but they don't usually make it into my travel bag (with the exception of the 20mm) because of the need to change lenses. This upcoming trip for me will be a little different, since I'm thinking I'll take the 24-120, as well as the 20 and 35mm primes. The 35mm gets added to the bag for possible street photography and not having the bigger 24-120 attracting attention. [/QUOTE]
