Such a stressful decision since there's no way I can go back once I've made my decision. My dad lent me a lot of lenses since he used to be a photographer, but I don't want to pack too heavily. I have a camera bag that fits my camera, two moderately sized lenses, and my zoom gorillapod.
Also, I will have a backpack so I can fit a few more in there, but I sitll can't bring them all. Here's the listing:
-18-55mm VR f/3.5-5.6 DX
-55-200mm VR f/4-5.6 DX
-105mm f/2.5 Nikkor manual lens
-180mm f/2.8 Nikkor manual lens
-50mm f/1.8 Nikkor manual lens
-55mm f/3.5 micro-Nikkor lens (manual)
-85mm f/1.8 manual
-35mm f/2.8 manual
-28mm f/2.8 manual
-20mm f/3.5 manual
-50mm f/1.4 manual
The manual lenses are all super old, but very good. I was thinking of bringing the 55-200mm just for its versatility. I definitely want the micro 55mm, the 85mm, and the 50mm 1.4 with me as well.
The one thing I'm a little nervous about is not having the 18-55mm with me, but will the 55mm, 85mm, and 50mm make up for it? I'm going to be taking lots of nighttime cityscape pictures and probably pictures of friends too (portraits I guess).
I can definitely bring four lenses with me there, but will probably be limited to 2-3 on picture excursions. So in summary, how do these sound?
1. 55-200mm
2. 85mm
3. 55mm micro
4. 50mm 1.4
