Lens Recommendation

smaller filters. it is very sharp between 75-210 (or so) and then gets
rather soft from there out to 300mm. No surprises...

Lens upgrade
Consider the following as good options for you:
Canon 16-35 IS, Canon 17-40 IS or Canon 24-105 IS. All of these are "L"
series lenses.
For a more "popularly priced" lens, consider the Tamron 28-75...

Gitzo Gt1530?
You might try looking at the Benro (not Benbo) tripods. These are very fine
Chinese knockoffs of the Gitzos.
B&H Sells them under the "induro" brand name.
I have two Benro's and love them.

New lens for XT ?????
You could use the Tamron 18-250 or the 28-75. The latter one is
exceptionally sharp.

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM
So far, my observations with the 100-400 is that it's quite sharp out past
300.
As for cost, I paid $1000 for the DO and about $1250 for the 100-400. (Both
used on eBay.)

Sigma 70-200 F2.8 (EOS Mount)
for a wide angle zoom, I have the Tokina 12-24 f/4 that is great.
in the mid-range, you might be more interested in the Tamron 24-75 f/2.8

photo with sofa
what was the subject of the photo? The girl or the edge of the sofa?
Personally, I would have focused on the girl and not the arm of the sofa.

as I understand it, going there is best hiring a guide. some areas are not

You probably want to get there well before the crowds so you walk around and
