    What lens or lenses did you used most if you carried a DSLR or mirrorless camera?

    On my earlier Caminos I had a small Fuji with a telephoto lens. But, on the last two I upgraded to the Canon M50 (mirrorless) it comes with a small telephoto, but I use EOS 18-150, it handles all occasions.

    Mier, inexpensive, super lightweight & fast drying, cargo pockets but not obvious, zippers on all pockets, ties on bottom cuffs. And can pass for dress occasions.

    Take the time to build up, one day is not what it is about. People ask me how far do you walk a day? I say, on average 15 miles. They think about it and respond, I can probably walk 15 miles. Yes, but can you do it day after day after day. I did the Camino Frances it was 36 of those days...
