Yes
Should I take my walkabout (Sigma 18-200) or the 50 for it's speed?

Decisions, decisions...clothes are SO easy by comparison :lol:

All the batteries are fully charged, so I need to decide on the lens. No room for extras as need to travel light, else I would take everything including mono and tripod.

I'm sure you'd be able to sneak the 50 in your handbag! ;)

Good luck with the weather though, its not looking too good at the moment!!! :(
 
18-200... As someone who regularly goes into town with an 18-200 and a 35 I rarely have the latter on the camera.
 
You didn't say what kind of photography you'll be doing, and which part of London you'll be visiting. If you're not doing street candids you'll get a great set of shots with just the 50. And if the Sigma doesn't have OS, you'll be able to shoot with the 50 later in the evening. But then you'll miss out on those wide river shots with the London Eye.
 
There should be some excellent overspill from Trooping the Colour, usually regiment after regiment in old school, full dress uniform moving between Horseguard's Parade and the barracks on Birdcage Walk.

Down that way you've also got the wildlife ops of St James's Park, and the soiled, art deco beauty of 55 Broadway. :)
 
The weather was that strange dichotomy that is Britain, Saturday we burned, Sunday we were soaked!

Saturday, my perspective on London, Walking around Hackney and Clapham

Sunday was Central London. There was a Hare Krisna festival in Trafalgar Square.
