Re: Travel Zoom - Do I need one?

The Lx100’s optics, if we use APS-C’s equivalent will be 16-50mm F2.3-3.7. It’s OIS is 2 stops, is same as the XC 16-50mm, while the XF18-55mm have 4 Stops. So if you are ok with 12Mp and is likely not taking any videos, the Lx100 is just half a smartphone heavier than the XF 18-55mm, sounds better for your use.

And since you have emphasis on streetlife and architecture, maybe get a XF14, for the 2 extra mm on the wide end, for your E3, in case you need the extra wideness. Or wait for the 6 stops OIS 16-80mm F4.
