Gx85 for Travel?

I appreciate all of the thoughtful responses. A couple of things. I love my Gx8's, and if it were only me taking the trips, I'd use my Gx8's, 9-18, 12-35, and the 75-300II or PL100-400. But the part I left out is that I will be traveling with my wife mostly in urban settings. She does not want these to be photo trips, and thus the need for the smallest camera that works for what I want to do. Both the 9-18 and 35-100 fit into a pocket, I will be using a wrist strap for the camera. I will have a Canon 500D adapted for the 35-100 for any macro shots that come up - again it fits in a pocket. The Gx85 has a built in flash that will be useful for macros and other shots.

I'd love to take my Pany 14 for a little more speed, but I feel two lenses is the maximum for a non-photo trip.

I do a lot of travel and constant lens changes can really get in the way, especially if photography is secondary or third-dary.

Two lenses make sense. But a short zoom and a longer one guarantee plenty of swapping… since you KNOW the other lens will cover a different range from the other.

ONE zoom, with a decent amount of range, along with a fast prime, for low light and night time, will do everything you need and minimize swapping. Zoom for day, prime for night.

I'd suggest you take a hard look at the 14-140mm II and 15mm or 20mm. One camera, and two lenses, that would pretty much do it. Nice and simple.
