That's a lot of gear to take on vacation.

I'm a professional event photographer who shoots travel & landscape for fun and occasional profit. Over the years, I've cut my travel kit way back. 20 years ago, I lugged a suitcase-size backpack (back when that was "carry-on size") around India for 7 weeks with a Pentax 67 kit, a 35mm kit, a full size tripod, and 120 rolls of film. It weighed probably 40lbs.

Never again.

On a 2-week vacation in Corsica last summer, I brought a GX7, 7-14/4, 12-35/2.8, 35-100/2.8, 20/1.7 & 45/1.8, along with a Metz 28 CS-2 flash.

Carrying wasn't a problem, but the constant lens swapping as I wandered in and around mountain villages was a frustration. My solution, a tiny Tamrac Rally 4 bag with:

Daytime:

• 7-14 on one GX7
• 14-140II on second GX7
• Metz 28 CS-2

Nighttime:

• 20 on one GX7
• 45 on second GX7
• 7-14
• Metz 28 CS-2
• 60" 3lb. travel tripod as needed

I just pull whichever camera/lens I need out of the bag. No lens swapping.

The Metz 28 CS-2 gives me studio-style 2-flash key+fill lighting in a shirt pocket. More on that here.

I switched back to the 35-100 from the 14-140, and went from 3 prime to 2.  I don't see much difference with what you take (except the pano head).  My bag is 20lb, but I won't be carrying everything at once, and I have smaller bags to use for normal excursions.  The Mini Trekker will go out when I'm doing panoramas.
