Maybe even leave the tripod behind. I think you'd be well advised to travel light. For such a short trip and with such little time for photography anything more than the real basics would just be in the way, and is unlikely to be used. In London if you know your way around, or are with someone who does, you'll be doing a lot of walking, and nobody's going to carry it but it you. If you don't know your way around, chances are you'll be down the tube a lot, where there isn't much to photograph anyway, especially with a tripod and certainly not with a flash (flash photography is understandably prohibited). I think your 645 + 3 lenses kit would be fine. Are there any particular sights or aspects of London that you're especially keen to see? Have you been here before? --- Bob
