good day...
before i get flamed for posting this thread, please understand that i have already poured through the archives, read stacks of travel books, and looked through scores of magazines. through this research, i have been able to put together a rather nice itinerary (i think). however, since this site has users from all over the world, i thought this would be a great opportunity to get inputs from photographers who know the areas i will be traveling to as well as i know my own hometown.
that said, onto my query.
i will be honeymooning in europe from may 23 - june 10. we will be starting in hungary (budapest), then moving on to austria (salzburg and innsbruck), then to italy (venice, tuscany, sienna, florence). we'll be travelling via the eurail until we reach venice. from venice through the tuscany area and onto florence we will be renting a car.
my wife-to-be wants me take my 4x5 outfit along - yes, she actually requested the Linhof instead of my much faster 120 setup. i'd like to shoot some interesting landscapes, both rural and urban; though i guess most would call urban landscapes 'architectural'.
as i said earlier, i have, through other avenues, gotten very good tips on fine locations to shoot, however, i'd still very much appreciate any suggestions you may have.
i'm planning on limiting my gear to two lenses (150 and 240) and as much neopan across 100 and 160 portra VC that i can carry. is this a reasonable outfit? if i were to take alonog a third lens, would a 90 or 300 be more useful? the 150 / 240 is my bread-and-butter set-up here in the states, so i figured it would work well for me across the pond as well.
as always, thanks in advance for all suggestions, scott
