Going to Sedona and Grand Canyon in the Spring and trying to pack as little as possible. I’ll be with my family so not much dedicated time for photography.

I’m planning to take one lens (24-70 2.8) due to weight (arthritis) and dust concerns. My main concern is if I’ll significantly miss out without a wide angle or telephoto zoom?

1-2 nights of Astro: 24mm f2.8 is decent, hard to justify a specialty lens

Family pics: 24-70 is perfect Canyons/hikes: is 24mm with pano enough?

Lookouts: Is 70mm significantly limiting reach?

    Thanks for the tips. Not sure if I’ll make it to Horseshoe bend, but that alone would be reason to get an UWA. I hear you have to handhold your camera over the edge to get the shot, so panning may not be feasible.

      Sounds more scary then it is. Attach your camera to your tripod and hold it over the edge. The spot where you do this is easy to find. You won’t be alone.

        Thanks for the advice. It’s hard to be the right level of prepared - my days of carrying 75 lbs of just-in-case gear are gone
