Tips to make every destination picture perfect.

Capture Every Adventure

Taking your camera on your travels requires a balance of performance and portability, so that you can travel lighter without compromising image quality. The real magic, however, happens when you match the perfect gear for your destination. So whether you're walking new streets or hiking remote peaks, discover the lenses and gear that make the best travel companions.

Urban Jungle

City travel is fast-paced, filled with towering structures, bustling markets, and hidden alleys. Whether you're chasing light through narrow passageways or capturing skylines, the lens you choose can determine the shots you take. 

Use an ultra-wide lens such as E PZ 10–20mm F4 G lens for vast skylines, dramatic architecture, interesting interiors, and towering perspectives. If you plan on vlogging, the ultra-wide angle gives context to your shot by including your surroundings, and immerses your audience in the environment.

Bonus: A power zoom lens lets you zoom in and out with less shake when shooting handheld, so you can easily create smooth video transitions or reframe easily when vlogging or in tight spaces.

Off the Grid

From wide scenes to interesting subjects in the distance, nature demands a lens with versatility. The E PZ 18-105mm F4 G OSS is an all-purpose zoom lens that covers landscapes to portraits without needing to change lenses. Plus, with constant F4, you don’t have to worry about varying lighting situations. 

When the nature trail gets steep, every gram counts. This lightweight zoom weighs just 427g and has Optical SteadyShot, letting you shoot handheld stably and stay nimble.

Bonus: Pair it with the GP-VPT3 shooting grip – a 3-in-1 compact multi-functional grip that transforms easily between vlogging grip and mini tripod for flexible shooting – from stable handheld shots, to solo captures, to low-angle perspectives.

Faces & Places

New destinations are full of life and details, waiting for you to capture it all. Capturing your subject and the atmosphere without distractions often means being able to make your subject stand out even in the busiest scenes, whilst working with sometimes tricky lighting.

A lens like E 50mm F1.8 OSS is perfect for expressive portrait and environmental shots. With F1.8, it’s a go-to for low-light conditions like candle-lit scenes and bustling streets.
 

Bonus: Experiment with angles to control what stays in the frame — and what doesn't — to bring your vision to life.

Snap-scapes

Scenic destinations are about more than just views — they’re about mood and scale. From sunrise on mountain peaks to the quiet drama of coastlines, an ultra-wide, sharp lens helps you capture not just the scene, but the feeling of being there. Bring the E 15mm F1.4 G, a lightweight yet sharp lens with beautiful G Lens rendering for landscapes and more. If you’re planning to shoot low light, the F1.4 makes it night-sky friendly.
 

Bonus: Always pack extra batteries and memory cards. The perfect shot might take a long time to reach, and you don’t want to run out of power or space when it finally happens.

Wild at Heart

Whether you're on safari, hiking through a nature reserve, or spotting birds from a hide, wildlife moments are often fleeting and far away. You don’t get second chances, so having the right lens with the reach and speed to capture the action is essential. This is where the telephoto E 70-350mm F4.5-6.3 G OSS zoom lens really shines.

It offers impressive reach up till a super-telephoto 350mm in a surprisingly compact form that’s perfect for travel. Built-in Optical SteadyShot keeps your shots sharp, even when shooting handheld on safari or tracking birds without a tripod.

Bonus: When every split-second counts, the E 70–350mm F4.5–6.3 G OSS lens is equipped with Autofocus that responds with speed and precision — powered by XD linear motor technology that’s built to follow your instincts.

Hidden Gems

Wandering through historic towns or cultural landmarks, you're surrounded by stories. These places are full of detail and atmosphere, and capturing them often means working in tight spaces or dynamic lighting conditions. That’s where an ultra-wide, fast prime lens makes a difference.

The E 11mm F1.8 is an ultra-wide prime that’s built for immersive storytelling. Its 11mm focal length lets you capture a range of culture, from sweeping architecture, to intricate close-ups. The large F1.8 aperture is perfect for shooting in dimly lit spaces, while also giving you creative control over depth of field.

Bonus: The E 11mm F1.8 is a perfect companion for travel vlogging — ultra-wide, lightweight, and ideal for effortless selfies and group shots. Pair it with the compact GP-VPT3 shooting grip, a versatile 3-in-1 that seamlessly switches between vlogging grip and mini tripod, so you can explore creative angles comfortably. Add the ECM-G1 microphone to capture clean audio and an immersive atmosphere wherever your story takes you.

All-round Adventures

For days when your itinerary is a dynamic mix of landscapes, city streets, and candid moments, having a high-performance versatile lens you can rely on is key. 

Powerful yet portable, the 494g E 16–55mm F2.8 G lets you shift seamlessly from dramatic wide shots to crisp portraits — all in a lightweight lens that keeps your creativity moving without compromise.
