<p>Hi guys!!</p>
<p>Thank you so much for taking time to reply to my humble thread.<br>
I can't really reply one by one but here are some of the things I need to reply.<br>
1. I live in Asia, Japan to be exact. I will be making solo trip to Europe for the first time ever, knowing only a bit of italian (super basic really.. haha), and english while learning french.<br>
2. The problem with the DSLR is, how, based on my experience (I used NIkon D600 FF before I sold it) is that people tend to avoid/flinch when I point a camera at them. I can't stand the looks people give me when I walk around with it. Also, no offence for people who love/stay in Rome, but I heard horror story about petty thiefs or just plain mugging, and carrying DSLR I think may help them identify me easier as a weak asian with expensive (maybe in their mind) camera.<br>
3. Actually, the reason why I am leaning on Fuji cameras is because of its color and high ISO performance. I don't really enjoy photoshopping after my travel because it takes a lot of time. So, out of camera JPEG while also recording in RAW is my preference. I know that the negative is those lenses and its prices! It's very expensive! haha.. <br>
4. About having multiple lens while travelling. I understand, thank you for the insight. I guess its true that when I walk around, I maybe won't even bother to change lens in the middle of the crowd just to take 5 pictures and swap back again. This is a great advice for me. Now, after reading this, I am thinking of getting Fuji's 18-135mm. This lens is standard aperture, 3,5-5,6 but it got IOS (5 stops according to Fuji) and maybe it should help. It's kinda pricey though, coming at around $900 in my country. <br>
5. I honestly have no idea what to expect in those cities like Rome, FLorence, Paris, etc. I have only a little clue on its landscape and conditions. This is why I am asking people that is more knowledgable than me. For example, if people say that 27mm is already enough to capture colosseum/duomo/inside vatican museum/eiffel tower, then I'd gladly take their word blindly. <br>
6. The budget is very tight I know. Ideally, I'd want 3 lenses. Wide, walk around, and at night. After this helpful responses from this thread, I will change my mind I guess. I think I'll go with 18-135mm IOS+35mm 1.4 for potrait+night time.<br>
Thank you so much for the kind responses. I look forward to hear more if you can.<br>
Regards,</p>
