[QUOTE="bluebird, post: 432386, member: 16097"] I'm getting ready to leave on my first vacation (to Israel) since I bough my Nikon D600. I have had the camera for a year and a half and I mostly use it for studio-style portraits of my daughter and indoor and outdoor quick shots (family day trips, pictures of my daughter with her toys in the living room and back yard, etc). My usual "walk-around" lens is an AF-S 50mm f/1.8G. The camera came with a 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G, which I have honestly never used. I also have a nice Nikon flash, which I have also never used - I take most of my photos in the daytime, and with the f/1.8 lens, I can almost always get enough light to make the photos happen. My question is how much gear I should bring with me. I have a passport sling camera bag with room for the camera body, both lenses, and the flash if I need to. I am not planning to bring a tripod. I will be there for 5 weeks, but it's a work trip so I will be working for 4 of the 5 weeks. Is it worth bringing the flash? I can get most of my indoor shots with the f/1.8, and I can't really picture when I would need to take photos at night. Is it worth bringing the zoom lens? If so, should I still bring my prime lens? f/3.5 will be a bit of a shock and I'm afraid it will really limit my indoor photography, especially in museums and at work (in a hospital). Or should I just stick with what I know and take my prime lens only? I would love to hear as much advice as possible! [/QUOTE]
