Exciting! I've spent a bunch of time there. Let me know how I can help.

I live in Delhi, around 1400km North. But my son stays in Mumbai. Let me know what help you need.

I've been to Mumbai, though for a few days only and on a conference, so didn't have much time to explore. Very large and very busy city. You will have many opportunities to photograph street life - it is very colourful. Go to any food market! The train station looks interesting: very ornamental, almost Gothic, Victorian building. The oval-shaped Mahim Bay (city centre) looks interesting in the evening or at night. If you manage to find a high spot in one of the tall buildings by the sea (a hotel or a restaurant), there are good views at night. The locals called the bay 'pearl necklace' because of the shape the street lights form at night.

Thanks everyone, not sure what I will be doing as yet and how much time I will have spare.

Well with only 5 days to go until I head off to Mumbai I am sat here thinking what lens combo I will be taking, I am thinking maybe my 16-35 on my D600 and the 70-200 on my D800E I think this will cover my needs as much as possible. Was thinking just the 50mm 1.4 but then thought I might like a wide angle and telephoto.

What is everyone else's thoughts?

Go covered for as many opportunities as you can,too late when you get there.
