Re: Camera kit for three weeks in Europe.

I would like to revisit my last post...

When I took a trip to Turkey last October with a lot of M4/3 gear, my three most-used lenses were the Oly 12-40mm, the 9-18mm, and the 14-150mm.  I occasionally used a 17mm prime or the Samyang 7.5mm fisheye -- when I needed them, I was really glad that I had them.

When going out for the day I would take two bodies: one body with either the 12-40mm or the 14-150mm attached, and the other with the 9-18 attached.  Occasionally, I would tuck the 17mm or the fisheye into my bag , but only when I knew I had a specific need for it.

My "daily carry" had to fit into my Billingham Hadley Small. Everything else remained locked in my suitcase in the hotel.  I never felt encumbered by the gear.

This setup worked well for me. I would do it again.
