    Default Going on a Cruise / What to bring?

    Going on a Cruise next month to in the Caribbean area next month. Which lens should I take?

    Canon 6D

    So all full frame stuff

    16-35F4 / 35F2 / 50 F1.4 ART / 50 F1.4 Canon / 85 F1.8
    70 - 200 F2.8 / 100 - 400

    1.4 Extender
    2 Extender

    I want to keep the kit small so I think for sure the 16-35F4 because I want the ultrawide, but I'm still decided on another lens or 2.

    If Canon released the new 24-105F4 then I would of went with that but they won't release it until after I get back.

    I might be visiting a zoo in Belize but I think we decided to go check out Mayan ruins in another trip.


    Thanks for any input.

    Why do you have 2 50mm?

    Depends which lens are your favorite, but I'd probably do 16-35, a 50mm and then 70-200.

    Selling the Canon 50 1.4 after picking up the Sigma ART but the art is heavy and I might keep that until after the cruise if I decide to use it.

    I would bring 35f2 and 100-400mm . add the 16-35 if you want wide.

    you would want a tele for ship to land photos, jungle creatures. so 100-400 or 70-200 with extender's

    then you need a a fast lens for interior cruise ship and night time , so 35f2

    then for landscapes i would stack/ stitch 35mmf2 photos , otherwise 16-35mm is good. Just depends on the weight you want to carry.

    also, if you are taking pictures of people, then I would take the 50art.


    -for my travel kit, i only take 35f2 and 85f1.8 and i dont really feel like i miss much for general travel.

    16-35, 50, and 100-400. I'd even forget the 50 depending on how much on-ship shooting you plan on doing. Leave the rest IMHO.

    I would just bring the 16-35 and 85mm for reach, if needed.
    35 f2 or 50 1.4 if you want thin dof shots

    if you're into tele lenses and really want to shoot wildlife, then pick your favorite, 70-200 or 100-400
