Bought Nex-6...pondering getting PL5 instead...?

Well I may be offering myself to the wolves here, but NEX-wise my plan was to stick with the 1650 (I have lightroom so no problems shooting RAW from a distortion point of view) and get a Sony/Tamron 18-200mm telephoto lens for travelling and leave the 1650 at home.

I just have not become that kind of photographer yet that lugs around several lenses on vacation, partly because I do not yet know when to choose between them I think (I am coming from an 8 year-old p&s) and also because my girlfriend is already asking me anxiously if I only will be looking at my camera during our upcoming vacation in Istanbul so I figured I would limit the friction by taking out lenschanging from the equation entirely.

Then - maybe - I would get the new Sony pancake 20mm for everyday portability at home, and if I understand when a Sigma 30mm would come in handy I might get one of those to. I live in Sweden so lenses are a bit more expensive here than in the US and B&H offer get expensive with taxes added.

But basically, the only sure buy would be a travel telephoto lens, rather than getting the two-lens NEX-6 kit with 1650 plus 55-210.

For fun, I would want to get a Canon FD adapter because then I could use the 35mm and 135 mm lenses that I inherited with my fathers Canon AE-1. Woulöd be fun to see if and how they work.
