One Lens on a Trip... Enough? | Canon R5 + 24-105mm

What happens when a photographer goes on a boys trip… and leaves most of the gear at home? In this video, I’m traveling light with just carry-on luggage—and that means making a tough decision: which camera and lens do I actually bring? Instead of packing everything, I chose a simple setup: Canon R5 + RF 24–105mm f/4 But is it really enough for a trip like this? 30 years ago, me and my friend Anders went interrailing across Europe. We were young, broke, and chasing experiences. Now, three decades later, we’re back on a boys trip—this time in Málaga, Spain. Things have changed… but not everything. I still want to get up early to chase the light. He still has the patience to come along (sometimes). The challenge? 👉 How do you balance photography and actually enjoying the trip with your friend? In this video, you’ll see: Why I chose the RF 24–105mm f/4 as my travel lens Real-world results from shooting in Málaga The reality of combining photography and travel with friends This isn’t about having the perfect gear. It’s about making the most of what you bring. And maybe… realizing that’s enough.
