Jostein, perhaps you can find a photographer or two (even by looking at
Luminous Landscape trip reports where photographs are posted with the
names of their respective authors) who did the same trip as you about to
do and ask them directly...
Have you already bought the full insurance for your
Thanks to all for your recommendations! Much appreciated.
There are some things I'm now quite certain of:
- There's no way I will let optics travel as checked-in luggage. :-)
- The 600mm has to come along. Thanks for firming my resolve there.
- I will have to make a thorough comparison of the 60-2

When I take my 600 to Alaska, I carry it onboard in a long lens case
backpack by Kinesis http://kgear.com/ with a body mounted to the lens & put
it in the overhead (check out the size of the overheads on the planes you'll
be flying). I also carry on board the rest of my camera lenses & bodies in
First thing would be to check with the photo 'guides' for the trip to ask
what they'll be shooting.

I think Stan has nailed it here. You'll be well covered with those
three lenses. Just dont shortchange the insurance. You absolutely have
to take the 600/4. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. If I had
room in my bags, I might take the other two lenses as well, partly for
backup reasons.
Were it me, I would take the 600/4 (and a sherpa if possible). I
would take either the 60-250 or the 300/4 but not both. Likewise, the
16-50/2.8 or the 14/2.8 but not both. My kit from among this set
would probably be the 16-50/2.8, 60-250/4 and 600/4. Insure the
600/4, pack it well, and se
I think you would regret for the rest of your life not taking the longest
lens you can. Cough up the money to pay the excess weight charge.

J,
Great trip, but bad weight limitations.
You will just have to pay extra.
