Hey guys, off on holiday tomorrow,

Taking my 550d for stills and video.

only want (allowed) to take 1 lense.

Do I yake my 17-55 2.8 ?

Or the kit lense, 18-55 ?

I know tha 17-55 is a much better lense, but its worth more than the body!

Would the kit lense suffice for hol shots?

Leave for the airport in 5 hours, quick advice / suggestions / thoughts much appreciated.

I'd definitely take the better lens. Store it and camera in a nondescript backpack, so it can't be easily grabbed. If you fly, put it down by your feet.

What's the point of having a nice lens, if you don't use it when you have the chance? :)
