We are going to Alaska on a cruise in a few weeks. We have some awesome excursions set up, one is a helicopter ride that takes you to two different glaciers (how awesome is that?) and the other is a 4x4 excursion, and last is a bald eagle spectacle (from what I understand) while on one of the Deadliest Catch boats. I hear they soar above the boat and people remark about how it's breathtaking.
So my dilemma is which lenses to bring. I have three but really don't want to drag all of them over there, but maybe I should. I have a 10-12mm wide angle, 18-200mm, and a 70-300mm. I've noticed when I've shot "wildlife" before, that the 300mm is never close enough. I'm always too far away, etc., and a teleconverter without a 2.8 lens is useless. So....I was thinking of picking up a 35 mm 1.8 prime lens thinking that might be a good one for landscape shots, but I'm not sure.
Any suggestions?
