In 2 days, you will be "photographically challenged" to control yourself.... I suggest the Blad.... it is easier and faster to set up, and therefore you will shoot more images. You do not need rises, etc in the Valley.... and everything is pretty far away, so tilts for DOF will also be not needed. Spend a meal at the Ahwanee .... it is $$$$ but the view from the dining room is incredible! Eat the rest of your meals at the Lodge... cafeteria style.....
