Equipment
Go the Distance Four travel lenses that will bring out the best of your journey
G etting away this summer? If so, the last thing you need while tramping through unfamiliar lands is an enormous bag of camera equipment to lug around with you and worry about. If you want to keep your carry weight down and create without distractions, we suggest you bring a maximum of two or three lenses to capture those holiday moments. Of course, your preferred style of photography may dictate the
profile of at least one of those choices if you require something specialist – such as a telephoto lens for wildlife photography or a wide-aperture prime that’s specially tuned for portraiture. For more general use, however, the X Series lens line-up includes an amazing selection of versatile zooms and primes that are ideal travel companions for exploring your destination. Read on for a selection of top travel lens picks.
