the equipment, clothes and food weighed 18 kilos.
THAT IS VERY HEAVY!! ππ± I remember last time I went to climb the Mount Kinabalu with around 6-7Kg of things. it feels heavier overtime π , but yours, 18Kg THATS A LOT!
Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 and the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8
This focal length already got you covered. Only that the Sigma 70-200mm is like lifting a brick π€£ but its worth it right? You have great shoot on the journey.
Yes, it was incredibly heavy, I ended up with bruises on my shoulders, but being such an isolated place, we had to carry everything. I lay on a bed in the cabin for almost two hours to recover a bit π₯΅. And yes, the sigma lenses weigh like stone, in the end the best decision was not to bring the other camera and the macro lens. I will remember to exercise more before another hike of this style. ππ
