would you choose?
I have a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 on the way and I also have a Nikon 85mm f/1.8 and I'm considering leaving my 24-120mm f/4 at home on my next trip, so I was wondering (and I know shooting styles differ) which two primes most folks would take on a standard trip. I'm not thinking about that once in a life time African safari which would probably require a 400mm lens or better, just your standard vacation trip.

I have travelled the world with an F3 and 2 primes for many years: 24/2.8 and 105/2.5 both AI-S. My gut feeling at the time was that an 85/1.8 would have been preferable, but liked the extra tad of reach of the 105 better ...
Ony my fist AF camera (Nikon F90X) I then had an 20/2.8 and an 85/1.8 both plasticky AF-D but optics were ok.
I now use a Fuji X-E1 and would take the 14/2.8 (21mm equiv) and the 56/1.4 (85/1.4 equiv... lens not out yet, so I use the 60/2.4 Macro (90mm equiv).
A little bit more thought and planning when you take pictures but don't really "need" much more than that.
Picture taken with X-E1 & 14mm:
