Camera Hiking Backpack
Camera Hiking Backpack
What type of camera bag should I buy for a Grand Canyon trip? Also should I purchase a generic lens?
I have a Nikon D50, 28-80 lens, SB-600 flash and a Sony Handicam. I plan on purchasing a wide angle lens before the trip. I may only take my wide angle lens and leave the 28-80 at home. I like the backpack bags, but I will also have a regular backpack. (We are hiking all the way down and camping out). What things should I consider when shopping for a camera bag?
Also should I purchase a Quantaray, Tamron, Sigma or Nikon wide angle lens? I'm not sure if I'll have the money to buy the name brands. What's the quality difference in the Quantaray?
One more thing...what's the difference in the AF lenses, ED IF, DI type, etc?
I use a generic backpack that does not say, "Steal me, I have cameras inside"
Any AF Nikon lens will work on your camera. Here is a link to help you decide which wide angle lens to buy for your trip. Each time I go to the Grand Canyon, I shoot exclusively with my Nikon 12-24mm ... at times I wish I had the 10.5mm to "get it all" If you can afford a Nikon 12-24mm then by all means buy it. If not, then look at this link.
