Smallest body you have

Smallest camera bag that works.

That's all I'd take.

I take it you've been there?

Slow zoom, normal lens. Way too limited. Would not get the photos I'm looking for with that kit. I can't even imagine it.

OK. Add in a 9 x 18 then.

Then the only thing you don't have is medium telephoto, but do you need medium telephoto on vacation? You would for a safari vacation, but not for Europe, IMO.

Whatever, take whatever you're willing to carry.

For myself, I hate carrying lots of stuff. You may feel differently.

Tamrac makes some really nice bags of a smallish size that carry a lot, though probably only one body.

Whatever you're happy carrying is you limit.

I use the medium telephoto to pick out details in architecture, for portraits, etc.
