Yup it’s official, I’m going to Italy next July and I’m super stoke! 2 weeks in the magnificent Tuscany region. 2 weeks of eating too much good food and discovering a region that has so much Unesco World Heritage Sites.

To be able t capture all this beauty I will of course bring “The beast” (My Nikon D700 DSLR) so I’m also starting to plan what my my camera bag will look like. I Don’t want to bring all my gear and be stuck to carry a super heavy bag around, so I’m planing on brining:

- D700 body

- 24-70mm 2.8 Nikkor lens

- 70-200mm 2.8 Nikkor lens

- Batteries + charger (not bringing the MB-D10 battery grip, too heavy)

-Memory cards

- Cleaning kit

All that in my new Think Tank Urban Disguise 50

I I would have loved to carry only one all around lens but I really want to take some night shots and the 2.8 aperture will come handy for sure. An option I was considering was to rent the new 24-120mm f/4G ED VR for FX body. This lens is small, light, has a constant F4 aperture and would give me a really good range of focal lengths, from wide to tele, without having to change lens around.

I want to know what are you taking with you when you travel and what tips you have when it comes to carrying your photo gear all around the world?
