I am "commuting" back and forth to D.C. this fall, a 2.5 hour flight. Hassles on both ends between screening/searching of luggage at departure, long waits for checked baggage on arrival. So I have tried to minimize my to-and-from load. (Partially by stashing one suitcase with most of my clothes in the hotel here over the weekends when I go home.) This time up here I "needed" to bring some photogear as I am taking a side trip to North Carolina this weekend for a wedding. And I really really tried to stay minimalist.
Final minimal solution: *ist-D DA 16-45 DA 50-200 FA 77 Ltd For this occasion, if I had to go with just one, I would have chosen the 16-45. Once I decided to bring a 2nd lens, it was just as easy to bring the 3rd. stan On Oct 12, 2006, at 6:26 AM, David Savage wrote: > G'day All, > > I'm going up north tomorrow (Dampier) for work.
