Needs travel advice to Beijing on gears to bring

hahaha ) daniel, yup it's more of a weight lifting program. I don't want to regret not bringing one when I'll be there. Still not done with my decision thanks for the reply

Depending on how much you want to drop, I'd drop to a min of 11-16, 50-135 & 50mm 1.8...

You can also loose the grip

I suspect you could live without the macro lens - that's the first one I'd leave behind. Have to disagree with<span>nickds7 on the 11-16mm - there's a lot of architecture and also a lot of tight spaces in Beijing (at least based on my research - I'm traveling there next year), so I'd think a UWA would be very useful.


Skipping the grip is a reasonable weight-saving option, just take the extra battery.


I'd bring the 85mm f/1.8 and not the 50mm f/1.8, but that's not going to save a lot of weight or space.


Have a great trip!
