I personally would take two cameras along - one for Tara and one for yourself, OF A SIMILAR BRAND AND MOUNT. One with a flexible zoom screwed on, the other with a very limited and light selection of your AF lenses that both of you know and like to use. I believe you understand why. In case of mishap, both can alternately keep shooting. In anticipation for our next trip, Alice just bought herself an XT-20 with the nice WR 18-135 to match the XT-2 and 18-55 + 50-230 I usually lug along. Same cards and batteries, one complete water/dust-proof camera, etc, etc. Get back to Alice if you need more info on Morocco - she visited the place several times I think. And most of all , stay safe, enjoy, and report :-) Amities Philippe PS: shoot RAW - most modern coach windows get a treatment that screws up the most determined sensor as regards color temperature - you?ll give yourself increased possibilities to address the problem when back home. Before digital, and based on my experience in Tunisia, I would also have recommended a polariser - not really needed now with RAW and LR ;-) > Le 22 oct. 2017 ? 21:28, Steve Barbour <stevebarbour at mac.com> a ?crit : > > In December, Tara and I will be in Morocco for a couple of weeks.
