That is too bad. SL2 + small F/2 lens (similar to EF-M 22) would be a great travel combo

Consider a Fuji x100 series.

Thanks George

I heard good things about the x100 series but I prefer interchangeable lenses.

Youre welcome.

Id go 24 1.4L II then. I think those might be your best options. I shot the Nikon 24 1.4 on a d40 for years and found it to be a great combo. The lens is about as big as a kit lens that came with that camera and it didn't attract too much attention.

Now that I switched to canon I have an sl2 and this is probably what I'll be using.
