Re: Compact kit with best IQ for travel?

I travel quite a lot - it's amazing how, when you get down to essentials, you get back to the basic principles of lightness and compactness. Unglamorous though this may seem, it comes down to the kit Panasonics 12-32, 35-100, and the 20/1.7.

Yes, I've got other primes and zooms, including the Samyang fisheye, but as weight is a consideration when travelling, for me a backup body (which could be a high-end compact) takes priority over a proliferation of lenses. Because it is so tiny and not the most robust of lenses, I would consider packing a backup 12-32.
