Re: Compact kit with best IQ for travel?

M43 is my travel kit for all my local and international travels. Many are recommending a 12mm as the widest to be carried, but in my experience one needs something wider for travels more often than not. So an O9-18 or if the budget permits a P7-14 is a great UWA lens. 20 1.7 is the next lens to be considered and then a 45 1.8 for portraits and some short telephoto work. Usually these are all that are needed by me, as majority of my shots, almost 80-90% are UWA shots. In Singapore I also carried a P100-300 for the zoo and bird park shots. But this lens wasn't used anywhere else. So I tend to leave long telephotos back in the hotel or at home and they are hardly ever missed.
