Robeng,
I looked at some of your photos, good for you!

I would love to be able to say I have traveled as much as you.

Cool beans. {Nice phot5os too!}

I've been very fortunate in being able to travel. At first I would carry all my super fast lenses and hike all around like a loaded down mule. Well I soon figure out that was crazy and bad for my back. I switched to a Nikon 28mm-300mm. For you I recommend a 18mm-300mm or a Sigma or Tamron equivalent. Now there's a bunch of people here that says "oh no, those lenses have problems." Truth is they don't know what they are talking about. I have won two 1st place here at the hog using my lenses and saved my back. Check out my site if you want.

My favorite lens to use 90% of the time is my Nikkor AF-S 28-300 f/3.5-5.6. It's a very versatile lens that takes great shots. A little heavy at about 1.8 pounds and pricey, but if you can wait buy refurbished at nikonusa.com on sale and it will cost about $795.

IMHO, I would say either a 40-50mm lens or a 28mm lens. Both categories take care of my needs greatly. Most zooms don't lighten the load...
