Hi all,
So i'm going to be travelling to Europe (Paris, Frankfurt, Milan, Florence, and Rome) next week and wanted to get some advice. I would like to bring a handful of lenses with me in addition to my tripod to accompany my 60D while i'm over there to go crazy shooting everything I can see. My selection of lenses are as follows: Canon 100mm Macro, 75-300mm non-IS/USM, 18-55mm (only in manual focus, the auto focus is broke), Tokina 11-16mm wide angle, and a Rokinon 8mm fisheye. I have two bags to select from. I have a kata r-102 backpack, and a case logic SLRC-205 Sling. I was thinking of taking the sling because it's smaller along with the macro, tokina and the fisheye but not sure if i'm pushing it with the lenses. Also concern was if I take the tripod, i'd like to not use the carrying case but to instead strap it to the sling. Not an issue in Frankfurt but when i'm in Paris and Rome, I will be at all the tourist hotspots and am worried by my tripod strapped out in the open, it will make me stick out like a sore thumb to would be thieves. Any one have any experience traveling with their gear on a personal level and if so, what do you do?
Thanks
