Lens for Maui

Keep in mind that whatever you bring, you'll be carrying it with you wherever you go. I would suspect a wide angle would be more useful, but that depends on what you plan to shoot. Depending on its size and weight, I suspect the 18-270 mm would be a good choice.

Take a simple point and shoot and enjoy your snapshots.
I would word that differently. "Bring a compact camera with a decent zoom range." "Point and shoot" should be deleted from the language.

I'm taking a wild guess: a Nikon FX DSLR.

In another post, the OP said she has a Nikon D7200.

Good eye. I have been chastised enough here for presuming that someone with FX lenses uses an FX camera.

Loc: Calgary, Alberta Canada
I went for a bicycle riding 10 days. Tok a mirrorless Sony A6000 with 10-18, kit 16-50, and 55 -210. They all fit in my thinkTANK hit/ shoulder bag and I never rode without it except up the volcano (iPhone had to do there ) Iused them all. The only problem I had was feeling a little guilty sometimes holding up the other 3 hard ass riders but they got copies of all the shots they wanted so it was all good in the end. We did not disturb the whales.

Unless you have a strong interest in birds. Or distant whales. Or nude beaches from the cliff tops. Or water falls that would take an hour to hike to. Or...or...or.

I am so sorry....I didn't see anymore notices in my email about responses. (Probably all my error!) Anyway, I have a Nikon D7200 and should have mentioned that to start with!

I will bring my Nikon D7200 to use with the lenses that I end up bringing. I do love photography but that is not the reason for the trip. Photography will be a part of it of course. Anytime I can sit down at my computer and bring new photos into Lightroom, I am happy!
I also have a Nikon 300mm F/4 that I use while kayaking. That have my 1.4 tc on it.
The one concern I have thought about (and someone mentioned it) is the whales being too close with the longer lens. You never know do you? :-) I will have both on a boat tour.

Take a look at the quality of photos on her Flickr page and reconsider making such a silly suggestion. Who cares that she didn't mention her exact camera. It is obviously a Nikon DSLR.
Thank you!

If you have, or can borrow a bridge camera like a Nikon P900 or P1000 or Canon SX series or similar, you won’t have to schlep anything else and you’ll enjoy yourself more.
Haleakala is a great place to go especially if you get there for sunrise. Also, Hana (I think) is a very interesting town.

I am not a good resource on the lens, we did live on Maui for 3 years. Where will you be staying and how long are you there?
