National Geographic’s Jim Richardson shares a few thoughts on Lenses for Travel.

I just wish he’d written this sooner – when I was doing my research on equipment. Yes I know these are relatively simple ideas – range, light levels, weight, etc etc – but Jim’s explanations are succint to a point where simpletons (like me) can understand.

I’d already bought my stuff, but he’s confirmed my n00bie research. For me.. the EOS500D with 17-55 f2.8 lens, and maybe the 55-250mm if I’m willing to mule it about.

Check this article out from his blog… amazing.

I’m a fan already.
