If you had only one lens on your OMD or other MF3 rig for walking around which lens would it be?

I'll going on vacation and will be carrying my D800 and my OMD so I'm trying to reduce the number of lenses I have to carry. Currently I'll be using my Nikon 24-120mm f/4 and perhaps my Nikon 50mm f/1.4, but on my OMD I was thinking about the Pan 20mm or perhaps getting the Oly 17mm f/2.8 or Pan 14mm f/2.5 as a fixed waking around lens that I can grab quickly for general street shooting.

MFT cameras are great to travel with.  With my GH1, I would use something like a Panasonic 14-140 for general photography and carry the 20 mm for low light photos.  That is a small, light and very versatile package.  You could make it even smaller with the Oly 14-150 super zoom, plus the 20.  You could extend your range even more with the Oly 9-18, that lens is so light and small also.

I recommend a superzoom and the 20.  The f1.7 makes a difference in low light, and is a very sharp lens.  I of course do not have an OMD, so good luck on your choice.
