The BEST Travel Lens 

A fabulous run down on the lenses. Loved your gallery of shots coming through the video too - all beautiful.

Perfect video! The information was delivered well. I liked the way you eliminated and explained why.

That the one I would have picked Adrian. Thanks for sharing

Absolutely perfect video.

Great video! My travel lens is Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2

Thumbs up ere' Adrian, great subject - I always carry 3 while out but can't think of just one unless I just use my phone!!!!! - interesting - many thanks for sharing your work :)

Great video and information thanks for sharing cheers 👍👍🇬🇧

Great video Adrian, nice summary of pros and cons! 24-70 FTW:))

I've also been asked a lot about other lenses for other brands of cameras, here are my suggestions: Sony I recommend: Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 or Sony 24-105mm F4 Canon I recommend: Canon 24-70mm F2.8 or Canon 24-105mm F4 Happy travels and thanks for watching 📸😀🙏

I use a D850 with a 24-70 for 80% of my shots. Great choice you made. It is nice to have the zoom of a 70 and the wide angle as well.

Very interesting! My choice would be between the 24-70 and the 70-200. Final call would be whether my destination was more about landscapes or wildlife!

Greetings, heading to 6 countries, and passing through the Panama Canal, too. I had planned on taking all my good lenses, which include most of what you showed in this video. I shoot a Nikon D750 and love it! Lenses were going to be: 50mm f1.8; 14-24 f2.8G; F24-70 f2.8G, and 70-200 F2.8E FL. In the end, I may still take them all, "just because". But, your reasons for knocking down to the 24-70 are sound, and I will definitely consider your comments. Thank you for the very well-reasoned commentary, and solid decisions!!! Take care, and God Bless! Doc Mark

Very good fantastic video I liked 😘 😘 😘

I plan on getting the 24-70 soon!! If you were to choose between the Nikon 24-70 or Tamron variant which would you choose if you didn’t own either yet

Super perspective on a single travel lens. Shooting Canon R5. Beautiful, RF 24- 70mm f2.8, is my choice for a single lens too. However, heading to Sicily, Liguria then Venice before ending in Rome (full month). Finding myself wanting a little more pull to capture unique landscape images at distance. I hear so many great things about the compactness, lightness (just under 700g) and quality of image from the RF 70- 200mm f4, I am wondering if I will regret not purchasing and bringing it along as a second. Weight is always an issue when traveling abroad. Your thoughts? Have you ever had regrets leaving something home?

Sigma F/2.8 17-50mm for my Canon 800D (7Ti) is my every-day lens.

Nikon glass is fantastic. Hopefully they can become more popular again in the future. I traded my D5600 for a Panasonic GH5 because I'm more focused on video. If the Nikon had a DSLR or mirrorless with great video options and a flipscreen, I wouldn't have bought the GH5. Thanks for making this video.

I’m searching for a nikon 24-70 f2.8.. but seeing there are different types. Is there a letter after the f2.8 after the one you recommend? New to photography and just purchased a Nikon d850

I have used both 24-70 and 16-35 both f2.8 for family and landscape as we trek. I think 16-35 is more versatile to my type of shooting. My 2 cents.

Hello Adrian, can you please compare between 14-24 f2.8 and 16-35 f4. Thanks, Arvind

I have Nikon d850 which travel lens i would go for

Would the 24 - 120mm f4 for be a good choice for travel (using D850)?

The 50mm 1.8 is sharper than the 24-70... But the 24-70 is probably the better walk around lens...

Hate the 35 and the 50 focal length. I will pick two prime lenses 24. And 85

Hello sir, can i use nikkor 18-140 f3.5-5.6 with my nikon D850?

Hey Adrian, could you please suggest me best zoom lenses for nikon d5600??

For a M43 user its really amusing when you keep calling those lens "compact" Adrian :-) Nice video though and I would kinda agree with your focal length conclusions. I love my Pan Leica 12-60 f2.8-4 (24-120 equiv) if I only want to take one lens.

Definitely my canon 16-35mm f 2.8 III

Very interesting video Adrian, for me I would take my 28-105mm Pentax Lens 🙂 out of all your lenses I would of chosen the same as you.👍 Cheers Cliff

The moment I saw all these lenses & the question , the answer was obvious without you even indicating the lenses because I know them. 24-70 , logic. 24-120 might also be handy despite F4. With todays software one can blur the background with one click ( the likes of Luminar Neo ) Sometimes I wonder why I even need a D850 and lenses such as the 24 F1.4 , 135 F2dc , 300 F2.8 . Or even my super Tamron 35 F1.4 . It is all heavy & I am not getting any younger , so lately I am more on the road with my X-pro2 and 23F2 or Meyer Trioplan , then anything else. And even more : pictures I shot with my Olympus Xz-1 and printed on A3+ look as tack sharp. And that was only a 10mp camera. It is only when you start to crop or shoot in low light or want something special that a pro-body can give you that extra need. I grew up with analog cameras such as the Olympus OM-1/2/4 & done photography school where you had to develop yourself your pictures . On todays market the choices are enormous and most cameras are pretty good enough for most normal needs. I agree totally on the 24-70 F2.8. But if I wanted to travel even more light , I would opt for the likes of a Lumix GX9 with 12-35 F2.8 & in addition one of the Voighlander's @ F0.95. Small kit .

24 to 70 and Cheat a bit by bring my RX100 M7 to cover all
