tfttf431 – Leo goes China – Tech Guy

techguy_tfttf_logo2.jpgLeo’s calling out to Chris for help of what to pack for his trip to China. Leo’s bringing along his Canon 5D Mk. II for this once in a lifetime trip. Will he be with photographers? Only amateurs. How much can he comfortably carry all day? Leo has a backpack and the LowePro Slingshot. But he’s limited to 10 pounds on carry on. Chris suggests a good walk around lens like Leo’s F1.2 50mm as it will force Leo to be creative in photo composition.
