I have to agree with You. In February I was with my family on winter vacation. I had M10 with S7.5, P20 and O45. All great lenses, but it is not fun to change lenses all the time. After that, I have decided to add GX80 and 14-140, which I did. Now I am waiting for my next trip in May, to see how it works.

I think that 14-140 + 20 f1.7 is enough, although I will probably bring S7.5 for UWA, and O45 for portraits.

I used the 20mm and 14-140mm I for quite a while and for low light the 20mm never felt quite wide enough. Now I carry a 17.5mm, but if I wanted an autofocus lens, I'd definitely opt for a 15mm over the 20mm, even though i have a 20mm.

There's something about the 20mm's field of view that never felt quite right to me. That's probably just me.
