Off to caribbean (What gear to take)

[Andy77]

Ok guys/gals, well im off to the caribbean in a few weeks and just wondered what gear to take along, got my 40d, with grip removed to lighten it up, 17-55 2.8 IS, getting my new hoya hd cp tomorrow. Is there anything else you would recommend taking e.g nd's grads ect?

Seems to me that the cp plus the 17-55 2.8 will cover most situations...unless youo feel a need for a longer lens. When I was in Hawaii a couple of years ago I discovered that the ocean is pretty big (LOL) and surfers, sailboarders, sailboats and cruise ships get small very fast.

Is space an issue? If so I'd try and take a longer lens if you can but don't worry if it's not possible, more of an added bonus!

I would try getting a good travel zoom. That should be really useful

unless you have a special subject you want to capture (wildlife etc.......) a couple of soft grads and your CPL will be the most useful additions to your bag
