Having given up message boards for lent (and subsequently getting ALOT of work done!), I can finally ask the question that's been on my mind for several weeks: What kind of equipment should I get for my Sony A-100 for a 2-week family trip throughout Italy?
The camera came with an 18-200 mm zoom, and I just got a 50mm/f1.7 minolta lens for portrait type stuff. I'm thinking about getting something like a fast 10-20 mm wide angle for the churches and such. I already have a nice flash - which may be pointless as I'm expecting alot of places to be flash-free zones. I'm also not going to worry about dragging a tripod around since this is a vacation and not a photo shoot.
I have a 4gb card and an extra battery already, but would I need another card?
Finally, what's the best bag for the equipment? I recently bought one of those one strap backpack things that you can easily swing to the front, but it's hard to get the equipment out. I've been looking at the lowepro backpacks. Would one of those work?
Thanks for any input!
