I'd like to get peoples feedback on the following situation:

I will be travelling to Cambodia and will have a choice of 2 or 3 lens to take for a full-frame camera:

17-40mm f/4L
24-70mm f/2.8L
70-200 f/2.8L IS


- I will definitely be taking the 70-200mm as I will be purchasing it soon and will get the GST back when travelling overseas with it.

- I have taken the 24-70mm on other travels before and it was a good all-rounder for portraits and general scenics, however I feel it may not be wide enough for the temples of Angkor.

- Considering Cambodia and the temples, I believe the 17-40mm would be invaluable, however there is some focal length overlap with the 24-70mm making one or the other somewhat redundant


I have the following choices:

a) No 40-70mm range

17-40 f/4 600g
70-200 f/2.8 1600g

b) No wide-angle 17-24mm range

24-70 f/2.8 1000g
70-200 f/2.8 1600g

c) All focal lengths covered

17-40 f/4 600g
24-70 f/2.8 1000g
70-200 f/2.8 1600g



I'd like to take all manner of photos such as:
- wide angle landscapes, interior of temples
- general street photography
- portraits

Considering the shots I'd like to take, the total weight, and the volume, which
combination of lens would you take and why?


Many Thanks,

Finn
