x2 on the Rokinon manual focus 8mm f3.5 - I picked one up for $100 on craigs. It's a great "trick" lens for crop-sensor cameras. I'm heading to peru carrying a 6D w/ 35mm f2 IS, SL1 w/ 70-200 f4 IS, and the 8mm as a bonus in the bag. I have a buddy selling an image-stabilized tamron 70-200 2.8...

eSWoof - Thanks for the cellphone info; Machu Picchu is capping the trip + Inca trail w/ pack llamas. I'll share info on inReach functionality when I get back.

Reviving the most recent InReach thread. I'm heading to Peru in a couple weeks & looking at the (now Garmin) InReach for SMS and GPS. Plan to pair an Explorer unit w/ my iPhone & the iOS app. Pay per month as you go, unlimited text plan. I'll be spending time in the south, Arequipa->Cusco...

I agree with the i5 or i7 recommendation - i'd also try to find one with a dedicated graphic chip & vram (instead of just integrated video & shared memory w/ main system) I'm a MacBook pro fan, mostly 'cause they seem to last me forever. They can be expensive, but utility & durability are...

Agree wth the advice so far; if you're going to spend any extra money, invest in good glass. I'm a canon guy, mostly 'cause I bought into the system as a film guy 25 years ago. I bought the first digital rebel cause I was already invested in canon. I've been through 6 bodies since then, but...

I've had my 50 1.4 for 12 yrs. never had a focus issue on 6d or crop bodies. Sending it in to CPS for 1st cleaning/checkup now. I also have the 35 2.0 IS, and the 40 pancake. You can pick up the 40 on canon's refurb site for ~$100 - I think it is shockingly good IQ for the price. It also looks...

Enjoying your posts & adventures. Saw that LC extreme-mobile in upstate NY back in 2010... it was shinier back then!

For anyone else reading this thread, don't rule out Canon's 70-300 f/4-5.6L IS All metal, Great IQ, the IS works well w/ 300mm at 5.6 Shorter, wider, lighter that the other big glass, making it a good carry. Picked mine up 3 years ago from Canon's refurb site - currently on sale for $1079...

Disappointed with what I have seen so far locally. Lots of hard soccer-mom miles or cigarette-smoked local sales/contractor 200k+ rides. Almost jumped on a well priced 90k '06 5.4l expedition, but somebody beat me to the sale. I kind of like the drive & feel of the 1st gen sequoia the best, so...
