I used my 70-200 F4 fairly often to do portrait shots and it worked great for that. And best of all, if you're across the room, you can still get a nice portrait shot with it.
I'm glad you're looking into the insurance.... It's definitely a piece of mind, I've stumbled once or twice with a camera in my hand and though "oh well, hope it still works, but if not, that's what the insurance is for" where as before i got insurance there would have been a few swear words....
24mm on the 5DII is quite wide, so if you're not comfortable with the 17-40 on the 5DII, leave it home. It's one less lens to worry about.
I haven't had much experience with monkeys on my travels unless i go to the Toronto Zoo.... So please take some pictures of them stealing stuff for us  just make sure it's not your photo equipment. |
Thanks Reed. I guess it's just a matter of me figuring out whether I should take the telephoto or not.
By wild monkeys, I mean nothing like the zoo
These were taken the last time I was there, with a P&S firmly gripped in my fist. I had to walk around essentially blind, without my glasses (I don't wear contacts), because apparently they steal those pretty easily.
