Going on a Vacation Soon, Sharing My Matured Minimal Setup
8

After 4 years using Micro Four Thirds for both travel and for everyday photo/video needs, I finally found the best lenses setup that can cover almost anything that I need to photograph during travel.

Back then I'm always worried about which lenses to carry for going here and there. After a lot of travelling to 23 different countries in the past 5 years, I finally settled on what I call my "MINIMALIST" setup. Which is not that minimal to be honest, but it's versatile enough to photograph almost anything that I encounter during travel. Here's what I am carrying nowadays in a video that I just made:

MInimalist What's In My Camera Bag - Micro Four Thirds Travel

Featured in the video are the GX7, GX8, Laowa 7.5mm f/2, PanaLeica 15mm f/1.7 and Pana 14-140mm f/3.5-5.6

They cover almost anything I need, from landscape to portrait to street to short-distance wildlife to semi-macro and a bunch of other stuffs. Attached are some pictures that I took while using that setup

Hope this post will be useful to you

Taken using GX7 and Laowa 7.5mm f/2. This one is actually not during travel, but I imagine I'll have little problem capturing and producing similar thing during travel with the same setup.
