First time in Rio so would also appreciate hints/tips

Thanks T

My choices would be

Covers wide and tele, plus low light

5d2/24-105. Secure your stuff.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah will take care. I am going to take 5dmk11 +17/40 +50 and 70-200. i hope i am lucky with the weather.

5D all they way. Rio is beautiful to take pics. Try take some portraits of garotas in Leblon... mmm i love Rio!!

Santa Teresa is spectacular for shooting buildings, architecture and people -- you can take the cable car up. Also some great views of Rio.

Just be careful with your stuff -- I've wandered all around there with a Canon D80....but anything can happen in Rio. (I've been 6 times now with no problems whatsoever -- but take precautions)

I wish I had a 5dmk11 - I have 30D.

What's with all the precautions about Rio?
