You might recall Robert Capa's statement that if a picture isn't good, you weren't close enough. Maybe something longer on the other camera, if you don't feel like walking closer to your subjects. When I go, I take the first tri-elmar (one lens with three focal lengths) and a panoramic. I shoot film and digital. I buy film there and bring it back. How do you plan to store the many images you will capture in three months? Remember, what you bring with, you have to carry. Weight never gets lighter. Do you want to leave valuable photogear in a hotel room? I wouldn't. Doug
