Hey all. I'm looking for some input on my kit.
I just got married not too long ago and the wifey wanted to go to Vegas for our honeymoon. So, I grabbed my kit to take with me on the plane. My kit as we left on honeymoon was as follows: D700, 50 f/1.8, and the 70-200 f/2.8 VR II.
I had some pretty good DX gear (D7000, 17-55 f/2.8, 70-200 f/2.8 VR II) and was beginning the transition to FX (D700) when I ended up losing my job. To make ends meet, I ended up selling my D7000 and my DX-only lenses.
Didn't even take out the 70-200 all trip and it took me a little getting used to crowds while composing with a 50. Still had fun and got some great pictures out of it! Found myself wanting something akin to my old 17-55 f/2.8 that I had on my D7000, but also wanted something a little wider too. Also found out that I need a ND filter set (or variable ND)...very badly.
My wife does like to travel and I think I've gotten bit by the travel bug too. I'm trying to build a kit that doesn't weigh too much and would give me very good quality shots. To this end, I'm putting together a list of lenses to rent and try out. I've got Nikon's 24-120 f/4 and 16-35 f/4 as the next lenses for me to try out and would love to hear back from folks who have them. I'm also very open for other lenses to rent and try out as well.
