<p>I agree with E.J. although he/she sounds more like a pro than not ... better to be prepared then regretful and having to make the trip a second time, although that might be a better trip considering you have made the trip once with gear. You will know what to take to satisfy your needs the second time. Good luck and good shooting!</p>

<p>I think you should get a prime 50mm f1.4. Learn to use it correctly and I believe you will have the perfect landscape/portrait lens. More money up-front (find a extra nice/excellent rated used one) but the results will be worth it when your travels have stopped! Also with one, less wait!</p>

<p>I summit to you a list of "Artist" that you can learn the "Art of Photography" from if you are willing to do the research:<br>

Dorothea Lange, Edward Weston, Cole Weston, Imogen Cunningham, Paul Strand, Ansel Adams, Alfred Steiglitz,Edward Steichen, Man Ray, Robert Maplethorp, Harry Callahan, Diane Arbus, Walker Evan Henri & Cartier-Brsson. Just to mention a few.<br>

This is a list of great photographer who created "Art" weather or not "under glass" or has sold for millions of dollars. You might get it after serious study of any or all of these people/artist! Keep shooting, Nolan Hulsey</p>

So much BS about the Nikon strap or canon strap...neither company pays for the advertisement... you pay for the privilege. I use plain straps that I find comfortable. If Nikon wants to GIVE me a lens or some other expensive piece of equipment, I will consider using their strap... I am a Nikon user, I toss the straps. Nolan Hulsey
