When it comes to lenses for travel photography, the selection is mainly based on convenience, pertinence of the shooting target, and personal usage habits. wait.

First, choose a wide-angle lens mainly for scenery. There is a high probability of encountering good scenery when traveling. If you like to take landscape photos, bring it with you, such as one in the 14-35 range. Moreover, this type of wide-angle lens is small and easy to carry.

Second, choose a mid-focus lens based on humanities. For shooting humanistic activities and people’s activities, medium-focus lenses are better. For example, 24-70/2.8 is a lens with wide applicability. It is very good at shooting humanistic themes and can also take into account landscapes and portraits. The size and weight of the lens are not very large. .

Third, choose a medium telephoto lens mainly for portraits. For example, 70-200/2.8 is a very good portrait lens. The 70-200/2.8 lens is an excellent lens.

1. This lens belongs to the medium-to-long focal length range, and the picture is neat and beautiful. The focal length of this lens starts from 70 and ends at 200, and the best focal length is around 100-150. The imaging picture in this range is quite regular and neat, suitable for shooting portraits and small scenery. There is basically no distortion or deformation in the picture, which is very suitable for scenes with high "formal" requirements.

2. The shooting distance is moderate and flexible. This is the natural advantage of the zoom lens, especially when shooting portraits. The shooting distance determined by it is very suitable for communication between the photographer and the person being photographed.

3. This lens has excellent image quality and can be called a portrait tool. Anyone who has used this lens has experienced that the image quality is significantly better than that of the similar 24-70 lens. It has the contrast between light and dark, the color reproduction, and the sharpness of the image.

If you compare it with the fixed focus 85/1.2, the image quality is almost the same as the 85 fixed focus, but the flexibility of use is obviously better than the 85 fixed focus. It has a constant aperture of 2.8, which performs well when you need background blur.

4. "Small landscape" shooting also has outstanding performance. If you encounter beautiful sunrises and charming sunsets when shooting outdoors, shooting without it will always feel like the sun is not bright enough.

After talking about so many advantages of 70-200/2.8, does it have no disadvantages, that is, it is a bit big and a bit heavy when traveling.

It is generally not necessary to cover all aspects of travel photography. If you bring all your own lens belongings, you will be tired and burdened, thankless, and you will change from a relaxed person to a transporter, and a leisurely person. People who "work" put the cart before the horse and lose more than they gain.

The choice of zoom lens or fixed focus lens can be decided based on the equipment you already have. There is no need to buy a large amount of lenses for this trip.
