Hmmmm tough choices. If you take two, I would lean towards the 28 and the
zoom. I think you are going to want the wide angle. Having said that, I'll
contradict myself and telkl you to take the 50 if you are only taking one.
You really can't take all three?
As for film, I really like Kodachrome for landscapes, so I'd probably take
some K64. For twilight and night shots some Royal Gold 400, Superia 800, or
maybe the *new* Max 800 (I hear it's great, but still haven't seen it in the
stores).
Hope this helps. Have a great trip!
