Hey all, I'm going on a little road trip this weekend: heading north from Santa Barbara along the California coast (but not the Pacific Coast Highway), with a stop in the Redwoods area and ultimate destination Portland, OR. I plan to spend a day or two in the Redwoods parks and then drive on to Portland and spend another couple of days there driving around. I will not be primarily there to photograph the park area and hence don't want to carry too much equipment, but I do hope to come back with a few good shots..
Can anybody suggest a set of must-have lenses/other equipment? I will probably be carrying an MX and shooting Fuji Sensia (for landscapes) and some 400-speed print film (for snapshooting). The only lenses I own are an A50/2 and an M135/3.5. I'm guessing I will need a good wide-angle (is a 28 wide enough to shoot 200-foot redwoods?). A good telephoto will be handy for shooting wildlife - the Roosevelt elk is supposedly very easy to spot there, but I'm hoping to get away with using a 2x teleconverter (or some such) on my 135. Also, would a polarizing filter be necessary? Also, can anybody recommend a good place to rent K-mount lenses in the San Francisco area? Any other suggestions/advice would be much appreciated! Thanks Badri
