So my experience with giant white lenses like a 70-200 while traveling is that as soon as you pull it out, everyone dives for cover making candid natural photos nearly impossible. I've migrated to small primes, which lightens my bag and no one notices.
I usually take EF 16-35 2.8 (landscape, city and video), RF 70-200 2.8 (zoom landscape and city) RF 100-500 4.5-7.1 (wildlife). Now, going to Ecuador (Amazon Jungle) and Galapagos I'm considering taking with me EF 24-70 2.8 (more versatile than 16-35 ??). What would you do guys - thoughts and recommendations?
I just have two prime lenses so far (baby beginner) and I really want something similar to the 70-200 for my next travel, this video gave me some ideas what to start looking for. Thank you !
Found you guys on TikTok lol! My husband and I live on our sailboat, sailing around the world. I do digital marketing and he is a professional cinematographer and shoots documentaries and sometimes promo vids. Stoked to see other alternative lifers out there! Cheers
I would choose two tamron lenses, 17-35mm f2.8-4 and 35-150 f2.8-4, great price and IQ, for portraits cheaper 50mm f1.8g or 85mm f1.8g, just don’t buy them new, you can get used for really good deal
Thanks so much! I would suggest thinking about the same focal lengths for Nikon. A 24-70mm is also a great all around lens for any situation so if you're looking into getting one, I'd recommend that one!
Dude fantastic video 👌🏾 I have most of the lenses and I’m going to Hawaii in 2 feels for 16 days should I take the eos R or the R6? both of which I have?
Because you have a crop sensor lens I would suggest buying something wider than you would for a full-frame. A 16 - 335mm would be great but something even wider for vlogging would be great. Maybe a 11-24mm
Depends on what you are looking to do! We personally use a mix of DSLR and mirrorless Canon cameras, but most likely transitioning to only mirrorless this year as it's starting to become way more convenient for both video and photography.
great recommendation. Was thinking of the Tamron 17-35mm and the 35-150mm based on your 16-35mm and 70-200mm duet .... together with the GoPro and DJI pairing
I have a RF 70-200 f/2.8, RF 15-35 f/2.8 and a RF 35 f/1.8. Took it on a recent hiking trip. It def takes some effort to switch a lot, as most scenes, I want to capture a wide AND tele shot, so I found myself either switching lenses a lot, or just deciding it wasn’t worth the hassle. Also some spots were just windy enough that I decided it wasn’t worth the lens switch. When looking back on my shots, I found that a lot of my shots were actually shot at 35mm or at 70mm (though there were still some at the long end of tele and short end of ultrawide). I’m wondering if a 24-70 f/2.8 would be a good addition if only to capture the range that I seem to have shot more of, and to switch lenses less. I do worry I’d be missing out on the wide and tele end though and would end up carrying more weight that I want. Do you have any experience with this third leg of the holy trinity?
Hey Will sorry for the delayed response to this comment. Great question though! First off, how are you liking the switch to the RF lenses? I am debating picking up a 24-70mm RF lens as that's a focal length I have been debating about pursuing as well. I used to use this lens a lot when I was working as a professional in house video producer, it was my go-to lens for any spur of the moment photo shoot, and for video any interview I shot was a combination of the 70-200 and the 24-70. I think if convenience, weight, and the constant struggle of switching lenses is a deal-breaker, then investing in the 24-70 is a no-brainer.
I only use a sony 24-70mm gm lens and it is incredible and I have thought about purchasing another lens to hike with but I also think why would I weigh down my bag when I already have the perfect one for literally everything. I highly recommend doing it!
Really appreciate your video and I agree with most of what you said BUT I disagree about the drone. I mean probabily is the single piece of gear that gives the biggest upgrade to your travel videos and your photography, adding completely new perspectives and uncommon sights, but I think it has some drawbacks. FIRST, it is not just a question of "having" the gear, but using it correctly is very hard and requires commitment, hard learning and long practice; SECOND carrying the drone, spare batteries and all the chargers and additional stuff adds a significant bulk and weight to your camera bag, expecially if you are backpacking; THIRD requires a lot of time to get good shots, because setting the stuff, take off, and adapting to the different point of view requires time. I used to have a DJI MAVIC PRO, i got fantastic shot with it but ended up selling it because it was very uncomfortable to use. What do you think?
I definitely agree with a lot of what you are saying and can relate to that as I've struggled with certain aspects of carrying a drone with me all the time. It does take a lot more thought and caution than just your typical DSLR or mirrorless camera but if you feel comfortable with flying one it does create such unique imagery that I find myself relying on shots from our drone way more often.
@@LeaveTheMap Agree, It's just a question of time and weight (and money) that you are prepared to sacrifice to get good shots. In the end it's the same of carrying a DSLR with multiple lenses vs point-and-shoot. I just think that the drone is far less easy to use, but when you master it, you can have amazing results.
Hey buddy...great work... congrats... I need one suggestion from you...I plan to buy Sony A7C for travel vlogging,cinematic shoot,monuments etc..can you suggest best lenses for this camera??????
This channel will only help you getting super expensive and heavy lenses it seems. For the A7C… Get the Tamron 28-200 2.8-5.6, probably the best travel lens with that reach… then consider one fast ultra wide prime or maybe an ultra wide zoom for ultra wide needs
.....and for APS-C DSLR's you'd recommend ............................................?!! ( let's face it , not everyone uses full frame DSLR's or mirrorless cameras , so how about your recommendations the enthusiast photographer on a limited budget , whose got a few weeks to e-mail his ( travel) lens wish list to Santa
Nicely produced video, but what kind of travel tip is this and what world is this for…. A 16-35 and 70-200 2.8 and 85 1.4??? 😂 Your tip is basically the set of lenses you’d take for a wedding photography no considerations for weight or anything. Your recommended gear is non-feasible for hiking… For full frame, I’m taking 28-200mm 2.8-5.6 to the mountains in Nepal. Then also a light fast ultra wide prime, suck as Laowa 15mm 2.0 or alternatively a Tamron 17-28 2.8 if you can handle the added weight… for some landscape astro and selfies etc
not true, I did a 2 week hike in Nepal with a 16-35 f2.8 + 70-200f4 combo for a balance of flexibility and compactness. why 16-35 f2.8 over F4? astrophotography

These are our favorite lenses for any situation!! Especially while we're traveling!
What you think about combining the 35 and the 85 using a 50mm 1.4 or 1.2 if you couldn't carry both?
So my experience with giant white lenses like a 70-200 while traveling is that as soon as you pull it out, everyone dives for cover making candid natural photos nearly impossible. I've migrated to small primes, which lightens my bag and no one notices.
You have the most prettiest eyes, I felt like you were looking into my soul 🥺
Lol
This is genuinely the video I’ve been searching for forever. It’s formatted perfectly and is super informative. Thank you!!
So glad to hear that!! Thank you so much :)
How is this helping? This is probable the heaviest kit for travelling I’ve ever heard of - why not toss in a 400 2.8😅

wow... thank man. this video really help me to choose which lens i should buy right now for my traveling vlog.
Great vídeo! Love it! Hope you post more vids man!
Thanks so much! Working on it for sure. Have a few more coming next week. Stay tuned!
I just have two prime lenses so far (baby beginner) and I really want something similar to the 70-200 for my next travel, this video gave me some ideas what to start looking for. Thank you !
Awesome!! Glad the video helped. And good luck with your purchases!
A cheaper substitute could a 100mm 2.8 macro.. That's why I use currently! Such a magic lens!
Favorite lens: 70-200 2.8 and 16-35 2.8! Love those! Must haves!
Absolutely agree dude! Such fantastic lenses to have in your kit.
My man, you are a natural :) Thanks heaps for a very good video and great advice.
If i want to choose 2lenses from this what will you suggest to me ??
Found you guys on TikTok lol! My husband and I live on our sailboat, sailing around the world. I do digital marketing and he is a professional cinematographer and shoots documentaries and sometimes promo vids. Stoked to see other alternative lifers out there! Cheers
Welcome guys! That is so fricken awesome. We should definitely connect and link up. Sounds like we have lots of similiarities!
@@LeaveTheMap yes definitely!
Hey im very new to photography. Can you recommend a lence that can use for better travel photo and portraits (for nikon D750)
Try 50mm 1.8 that's suits for portraits and it will help you in any occasion
I would choose two tamron lenses, 17-35mm f2.8-4 and 35-150 f2.8-4, great price and IQ, for portraits cheaper 50mm f1.8g or 85mm f1.8g, just don’t buy them new, you can get used for really good deal

I love your videos! Do you have any lens suggestions for Nikon cameras?

@@LeaveTheMap thank you so much! I'll look into it
I have sonya6000. Do I need to upgrade it with zv-10? Also please suggest me a all in all budget lens for my travel to Philippines.
Plzzzzzz
Sir what is the best 18-35 equivalent lens for apsc body
Here from the Willsbeenhere live!
Dude fantastic video 👌🏾 I have most of the lenses and I’m going to Hawaii in 2 feels for 16 days should I take the eos R or the R6? both of which I have?
Ok I can stop agonizing over what lenses to get now. I am picking up a tamron 70-200 2.8 and renting a canon 16-35 for my trip this month.
I have a Canon 80d what lens would be good for travel video and vlogging
Because you have a crop sensor lens I would suggest buying something wider than you would for a full-frame. A 16 - 335mm would be great but something even wider for vlogging would be great. Maybe a 11-24mm
What camera in general do you use?
Depends on what you are looking to do! We personally use a mix of DSLR and mirrorless Canon cameras, but most likely transitioning to only mirrorless this year as it's starting to become way more convenient for both video and photography.
I’m going to Hawaii in July…I have 35mm 1.8, 18-105mm f4 and 17-70mm f2.8. Which lense should I bring?
great recommendation. Was thinking of the Tamron 17-35mm and the 35-150mm based on your 16-35mm and 70-200mm duet .... together with the GoPro and DJI pairing
Thats a great pairing!! Tamron makes some great lenses and you can't go wrong with that focal range
