Late in November I'll be taking a trip to several European locations. I will need to pack fairly light. By then I'll have acquired a Micro 4/3 camera. Applications will include the typical tourist photography of scenery, architecture, wife and friends. Far below pro-level in skill...
Is this the only reason to buy a m43 camera? Because honestly one of the compact cams with larger sensor (Oly X-Z2, Panasonic, Sony, ...) and a fast zoom will do. Which locations are you going to visit?
If you had only one lens for such a trip, what would it be? I'm willing to invest in high quality glass.
The most luggable high quality glass is the Panasonic 20/1.7 pancake lns. But it is too long for architecture. The Panasonic 12-35/2.8 zoom is a bit heavy.
For luggability i'd bring the Panasonoc 14/2.5 pancake lens (on a small mFT body). If it has to be faster, the new Oly 17\1.8 If a zoom is OK, the Oly 9-18 or the 12-35.
I'd get the 9-18 + 14-150 (or 14-140) + 20/1.7. That is my travel lens kit for Europe and covers almost everything you might want to photograph in Europe.
