I use 80 % of my 17-50 f2.8 with the 20% on the 70-210. I love the City plus landscape and indoor with the 17-50 f2.8 and more range for outdoor using the 70-210 for People & close ups. I choose the 52 mm filter thread for the 70-210mm that I can use back my classic 52mm PL & Soft & Star 6 filters. I also have a 67-52 Stepdown ring for the wide zoom just in case but never use. I use a Nikon D300 & leave the external Flashlight home but instead took a homemade 8" Tripod that fits intp my bag. Earlier I travel with a Nikon 28-85mm f3.5-4.5 but wished I had something wider & faster plus some more reach on ocassional shots. This experience taught me to take 2 lenses. Tim from Malaysia.

Travel with this one lens also makes you camera big and bulky and a drag to pull along. People tend to fear that camera a lot also as it just looks to big, mean and exploitive for the locals to not care. Also with this one lens life you have a humungous problem to take more pictures if the lens get damaged, what is the backup?

I only ever used the 18-55! I was too busy to even change lenses. An 18-200 might have provided some more zoomy shots but I have some great photos, including ones taken in museums. Take a compact flexible tripod like a Gorillapod too, if you have the room. And a lot of SD cards (or whatever your camera takes).

It lives on the D80 when I'm traveling. I also take a 50mm 1.8 which is tiny and takes up almost no room in the bag. And, if there's room, a 55-200mm VR for a backup. Toys are fun but they get really old after lugging them around the countryside all day. ‘Nother vote for the Nikon 18-200mm. It lives on the D80 when I’m traveling.
