Hi dudes. I'm going to Hawaii for the first time. (big island and oahu) It's not really a "photo trip", i'm visiting a friend that lives there, but I will be taking lots of photos since it's my first time.
Normally, when I go on touristy trips, I'd take my Leica M6 or M2, with 28/35/50mm lenses, but this time I've decided (I think...) to take my D3s and shoot all digital so I don't have to carry film around and don't have to worry too much about low-light (I want to go inside some ships at pearl harbor).
I usually shoot primes, 28 and 50mm, unless i'm shooting auto racing or "wildlife" (the zoo..lol) in which i'll take my 300mm and/or 70-200, but i'm trying to decide if I want to take my 70-200mm (I have a teleconverter too) to Hawaii as well.
I didn't want to travel too "heavy" since there will be lots of walking around, and the D3s isn't a lightweight body as it is, which is why i'm on the fence about the big zoom, so I figured maybe someone that's been could share their thoughts.
edit: I should add that my photo "style" is probably more snapshot-y/street.. usually
I'm also still thinking about taking one of the Ms and some film.. so hard to decide..
