Re: What lenses should I choose for light travel-kit?

I just bought (yesterday) the 12-24mm Samsung lens and can see it rapidly becoming my go-to- lens for general usage. At it's most compact length it's at 20-24 mm and extended it gives a slightly fish-eyed 12mm, but all-in-all looks to be a great lens.

So, to directly answer the question, perhaps consider the 12-24 for wide angle shots of the scenery and city plus the 30mm which is brilliant as an all purpose lens. Being close to a 50mm in full frame terms, the 30mm prime makes for a great street shooter and returns shots that are both crisp, but also have natural perspective.
