I decided to reduce the weight and complexity of the gear I brought with me for a trip to the Burlington, Vermont area. I've been considering options to go back to the Canon R series, using a combination of some of my current EF lenses and one or two RF lenses. This would require trading in all my DSLR bodies and most of my EF lenses - and then some.

So, I chose my Think Tank Photo Streetwalker backpack, one body and five lenses. Left out were two DSLR bodies and my 70-300mm lens. While I continue to evaluate what I really need to shoot what I want, I already missed the telephoto zoom for shots across Lake Champlain toward the New York shore both during the day and at sunset.

Here is an iPhone shot of the bag and gear followed by some scenes over the course of the day yesterday. The gallery for the trip is located at https://trulandphotography.com/vermont.
