Maybe they read Mowog's post

I only took one body, and one lens too. The trip took all our money.
Provided you don't keep swapping lenses out in the open it shouldn't be a problem. Your camera is no more likely to give up in Namibia than it is anywhere else.
A friend went to Namibia on honeymoon and only took his K7 and two lenses. Everything survived just fine.

Learn how to swap lenses in a pillow case, and then take one with you, so you can reduce the dust risk considerably if you really need to change lenses.
Another tip is to leave the lens cap off and use a sock instead. Quicker to pull a sock off and drop on the floor than get a lens cap off, and pocket it. Since you will be using the hood all the time (won't you?) the sock never makes contact with the actual glass but does a good job of stopping dust.

Your here now .
I hope some whiz kid here can help you .

Mea culpa. I was offended by the word. It was unnecessary in the context in which it was used. I have nothing against swearing. I swear. But on public forum I don't think it is needed.

I am sorry Mowog has chosen to go. I shall miss his humour and his contributions to the forum.

11 activations is normal for a new camera- especially one which has had it's sensor checked.

The K-5 is proving to be an incredibly popular camera and Pentax are working hard to meet demand. The sensor issue affected availability a bit but not much I think.

One important thing Steve said - relax and enjoy. Do not spend your time seeing Namibia through your viewfinder. Take time to just watch and wonder.

The 300 will be just about long enough for most things.
I had a Tamron 28-300 on my Ds when we went to Tanzania. It is all I took. The Bigma came too late for that trip, but I still hope to go back one year.
You can more or less guarantee you will have the wrong lens on the camera at any given time if you take a lot of lenses. Animals won't wait while you change lenses.

Is Yvon a member here? Interesting. I do enjoy his blog.

I like the idea of the monopod built into it, and it's good to see they use an Arca Swiss QR.

If I were in the market for a tripod I might consider one. I may do anyway - as a travel pod since they are a lot small folded than mine is.

I know Bret. And I hate snow.
But the price is good, and the chance to see the aurora makes it tempting, though I don't think I have enough cold weather clothing for it.

Well the subject starts with 365 - which is a photo a day I guess.
The OP's partner is away for presumably a total of 255 days so they want to make a photo a day while the partner is away - so the partner can see what they've done. Or maybe the partner will be taking the photos.

But basically it is a question about where to post a photo a day. I think.
