To anyone who travels/traveled with a DSLR camera.
if you only had a choice of 2 lenses, what would they be?
If I chose to carry, I would carry a wide angle for the spectacular views and a good old 50-what have you. The wide angle is what I miss with the iphone.To anyone who travels/traveled with a DSLR camera.

You don't mention whether you're taking a full-frame or APS-C body, which makes a difference in lens choices and gear weight, or whether you're looking to produce a pro-level gallery of Camino photos or simply a better travelogue of your trip than you could achieve with a smart phone or compact camera. Either way, I'd suggest one of the do-all travel zooms plus a fast 50mm (full-frame) or 35mm (APS-C) prime for interiors. As you know, some of the third-party travel zooms have "macro" or close-focus feature, which can also be beneficial.
Sounds like you've got the bases pretty well covered, although personally, if I were taking a DSLR, I'd try to limit myself to just two lenses. The 17-70 will probably handle low-light situations if it can do f2.8 at the 17mm end, and if your camera can handle upping the ISO to compensate for not having an f1.4 or 1.8 prime. You could (with a little more work back on the computer) just use the 17-70 and shoot panoramas rather than bother with the 10-20 superwide. The 70-300mm is a hard choice -- I question whether you'll need the 300mm end very much, but there will be many situations where you'll want more than 70mm.I have a high end APS-C
I will be taking my 10-20mm superwideangle,and so far my goto lens, a 17-70 f2.8-4+macro
the 18-250 I was looking at is rated good for a everything lens but at the expense of quality, so thats a no go.
I was forgoing my tripod for weight reasons, but I am reconsidering that too. maybe I should bear the extra weight for the image stability. long duration natural light night shots
so the question is, should I take a third lens for zoom?will I need it? I have a 70-300 that is a fair quality lens.
. I opted instead for a Sony RX100 III which has a viewfinder said:Hello; I did a ton of research and purchased this camera for my first Camino, took it on #2 as well. Great camera, very rugged, small, but takes great pictures with more settings and options than my slightly old DSLR. I take it everywhere.
Oh wow! I would LOVE to take my camera, but I know I need to keep the weight down. If I were to take my Canon 60D, I'd take my 17-55 f/2.8 lens and my 30 mm f/1.4. I am looking to find a smaller camera with more control, but trying not to spend too much as I love my DSLR. I normally shoot raw, but I am not certain I need it on a small high end compact.

I took my DSLR once on a camino (Pau to Puente la Reina) and never before have I taken so few images. Walking and semi-pro equipment just don't work well for me together. Now I take my Canon G15 and be happy photographer again ;-) Image quality is also excellent btw and it has a lot of manual controls. Buen Camino, SY
... I have so many questions I would like to ask. with out becoming a bother. but for now, thank you.
I am bringing a 17-70 F2.8 TO 4 and a 10-20 super wide angle landscape lens I feel these should work for what I want. except maybe the storks in the church steeples. I would love to hook up with another canon photographer to help watch each others equipment when necessary and perhaps even share back and forth
enabling us to have more lenses to choose from and split the weight.
I shoot raw because of the advantages in image quality and editing.. my goal is to publish a coffee table book of my camino images.
I'll be bringing my Fuji X100T. I got that camera after I decided I was sick of carrying my Nikon D7100 around when I travel. Only disadvantage is that it is a fixed focal length lens, but that rarely bothers me.
I walked the Camino Frances this fall and brought my Nikon D800. I used only one lens, the 35mm f/1.8G prime lens. I wanted to keep the weight down. I did not miss a zoom.To anyone who travels/traveled with a DSLR camera.
