Default What lens to take

OK here is my question. Hope this is the correct forum. Never know now it's changed. Any I am heading for Cuba in a few day's and do not want to carry around a bunch of equipment. From my profile you will see what lens I have. I only want to take three. So for all you seasoned travelers out there please help me out on this. I would love to have a few more to choose from but that's life. Anyway any help from the members would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Al

Id probably take one of the 18mm and the sigma 70-200 for the speed and versatility. I would say the third would be the 50mm just in case you find a need for low light speed.

18-105 and the 50mm. That's essentially what I used the last time I was down there.

Wow 45 readers (members) read my post and only two got back with suggestions as to what lens to take. I guess no-one travels on this link. Thanks again to Osmosis Studio and SK66.

From the lenses I own, Sigma 17-70 would be my first choice. It's a great lens, actually.
From your lenses, perhaps the 18-105 or the 18-55.

You didn't specify the destination country or the camera system in the title of your post.
I would suggest you wasted the time of most of the people who viewed this thread.

A lot of us travel.

This is for "Senior ???" Richard Taylor

I would say your reply to me is a waste of my time Richard. If you read it completely you would have got all the information. Just where to you come off with that type of reply anyway. Having the word "Senior" in your name makes me wonder just how Senior you are to me.
