    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.

Now, as extra protection, I spray...
