Headed to Italy in August, what lenses should I add?

Re: Headed to Italy in August, what lenses should I add?

2 years ago I went to Europe with two lenses, the 18-135 and the 18f2 for interiors. Early in the trip I dropped my camera (xpro-2) which survived but the lens was toast. So I here  was on a bucket list trip with only a wa prime, and one that's not too well regarded among the pixel peepers.

So I used what I had and got wonderful results. I could crop like crazy and still get excellent 13x19 prints. Your camera presumably doesn't have the 24mpx sensor but you should still be able to crop quite a bit.

I have the 10-14 and like it a lot but I doubt you'll need wider than 14. Someone suggested adding the a 23mm lens... I think that's a great choice.

I'm going to Israel in June and will probably that the 18-135 (now repaired, and again, a much better lens that it gets credit for). I suspect I'm going to live with the 18 most of the time.
