I'm going for a very short visit in January, so I'm trying to be efficient with my camera gear. I will certainly take my 2 Panasonic cameras, GX7 and GX80, and probably use one for walk-around and distance, and the other for wide angle and low light. It should be easy to select the lenses, but I'm hung up on the walk-around and distance options.

I have the 14-140mm II and love it. But I'm really getting too dependent on a superzoom, and have acquired a Panasonic 35-100mm F2.8 which I want to use seriously. I also have the Olympus 45-150mm plastic fantastic. At the short end I have the choice of 12-32mm or the 12-50mm with its pseudo-macro facility.

I'm thinking the choices are:

1. Stay with the 14-140mm plus 12-32mm, but that does nothing to extend my experience

2. 35-100mm plus 12-50mm, and really get to grips with them

3. 45-150mm plus 12-50mm, the lightest combination and it gives the longest reach.

(I have the wide angle and low light bits sewn up, with small lenses.)

What would you do?

As a walk around lens, how about bringing a 17mm or 20mm.

Will you be carrying both cameras bandolier style?

BTW, how much camera gear are you willing to carry and how will you carry?
