d2mini Posted February 25, 2016 Share #21  Posted February 25, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've traveled internationally with nothing but the 35 cron and had great results. Add the 90 to that and it's perfect. I don't usually get along too well with a 50 because I wish it was wider for many shots, and longer for others.

NB23 Posted February 25, 2016 Share #22  Posted February 25, 2016 Putting a lens in socks and in shoes is a very bad idea. I've once made an experiment with worn socks and fungus. High fungus levels kept on coming back, no matter how many washes and Chlorine bleaches. As soon as the sock was exposed to mild levels of humidity, fungus was revived.  I would never, ever mix lenses and cameras with worn socks, not even worn t-shirts. And I would totally avoid stucking lenses in shoes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted February 25, 2016 Share #23  Posted February 25, 2016 It's not the socks or shoes, it's the idea of putting lenses in the checked luggage that I'd worry about the most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would totally avoid stucking lenses in shoes.  I can only comment based on my own experience. In the last 10 years, having flown more than 1.5 million km, I have always packed my lenses in clean, dry socks and packed them in shoes. I've just checked all of my lenses that have travelled this way and all are completely fungus free.  I also checked my feet. They too were fungus free...

I haven't had any issues, even when my luggage has been wrongly routed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
