  1. Hi - recently traded in "heavy" Nikon gear for Fuji x-t2. Started with 35mm, added 60mm and recently purchased 14mm. Will be taking Egypt trip with family to tour the major cites including going down the Nile. I expect that approximately 75% of usage will be from the 35mm and 60mm, while the 14mm will come in handy when wider is needed. I'm now wondering if the gap between the 14mm and 35mm isn't too big. While a 27mm Fuji pancake lens (pre-owned) can be purchased a few hundred dollars, I don't want to always rely on more gear to possibly substitute for using the 14mm and 35mm lenses more wisely (such as taking steps in or out, etc.) I also don't know whether it's worth the effort while on vacation to keep switching lenses because a slightly wider view may be more advantageous than the 35mm. In terms of alternate lens sizes, the Fuji 23mm is too expense for me to justify - that's why I'm limiting to the 27mm which is much more affordable. Any practical advise is appreciated...
  2. <p>I appreciate all of the responses that all have provided. It has essentially confirmed my initial suspicion that the Death Valley drive is a bit much for the time available. The recommendation of Anza Borrego came from a friend who is not a photographer, and so I appreciate the opinions of those who have shared their experiences. As for Greg's suggestion of Joshua Tree, that's also a possibility...I'm basically looking for some type of desert environment that is unlike our green east coast.</p>
  3. <p>Will be staying in L. A. in early October and will have two days where I'd like to take desert photography. The advantage of Anza Borrego will be the shorter overall driving distance. I would welcome any opinions on whether passing upon the opportunity to photograph in Death Valley because of the extra driving is worth it.</p>
