When I go on a photoshoot, I carry far fewer clothes and far my photo stuff, than when I go with my wife. Therefore, My choice for a carry lens for trips with my wife was the Nikon 28-300. I can usually slip in my 15-36, or a fixed 20mm f4. I know I do not get the quality with the 28-300, but I'm OK with that. Your mention of the 28-300 lens reminds me of the chance I had to hold the D800/28-300 combination, and how much I appreciate the weight reduction my current combination brings: Nikon D810 880 g 28-300 800 g 1680 g Panasonic GX7 402 g 14-140 265 g 667 g My current combination is just 39% of the weight and a lot more compact..... Weight is certainly a valid consideration. My 28-300 seems light compared to my 80-400 For photo shoots I am not quite ready to sacrifice quality for the weight savings. I got a small cart with large wheels to carry the necessary equiptment & chair on beaches. http://www.amazon.com/Tommy-Bahama-Terrain-Beach-Cart/dp/B004TM0ZQO/ref=sr_1_1/192-0037037-2233109?ie=UTF8&qid=1421155975&sr=8-1&keywords=beach+cart+tommy+bahama http://tinyurl.com/p2v6w24 -- PeterN |
