The 28mm is effectively a normal lens on APS-C,. You'll probably want
a wider lens, I'd go with 24mm or even 20mm, if I was only carrying one
lens. I'd probably carry at least two though. A 20mm and a short
telephoto, maybe 50-55mm, or 85-100mm, if you've got one. My first kit
consisted of a 28mm, 50mm and 150mm (on 35mm film, it still feels a bit
weird to refer to a 50mm lens as a short telephoto).

in the US Army Air Force in England during WWII -- and then spend most of the
week following in Northern Arizona, taking in the Grand Canyon and other sites
in up there and in the Four Corners.
I haven't been doing much shooting, but I imagine I'll be shooting a fair bit
on this trip. Following advice given by several here earlier, I'm taking my DS
and one lens, an a 28/2.8. There will be a lot of light, of course, and I
imagine I'll be wanting to be doing shooting mid-day.
Any suggestions? Forget it? Take a filter? If so, what kind? Anything else? I
am the rankest amateur on this list. [I don't deserve to be here, I learn a lot
lurking, and you're so nice to me.]
