For this six-month trip that started in Europe and then ventured over to Southeast Asia, I carried a rather cumbersome telephoto lens. Time and again, I thought to myself how I shouldn’t have brought such a heavy and expensive piece of equipment. However, it proved its utility on the rare occasions that I used it.
