Re: One all purpose zoom for travel in Spain.

Thank you all for the good recommendations,   After rethinking, I probably shoot more with my 20mm than with the 45mm.    Many have suggested getting an ultra wide angle lens instead of all in one zoom.

How about  instead adding a 12mm prime, and /or 7.5 mm fisheye Samyang?

Or, Pan 7-14 or Oly 9-18 zoom?

Either I still carry my 20mm or leave at home.   Take the 75mm for telephoto/detail photos.

That way, I could keep my kit small and light.  And if I need to change lenses, do it with a keen eye of my surroundings.

Take:

  • Panny 20mm f/1.7 (take or leave home)
  • Oly 75mm f/1.8

Add:

  • 12mm f/2 (small, but expensive! )
  • Samyang 7.5mm fisheye (manual focus)
  • Oly 9-18 zoom.  or
  • Panny 7-14 zoom

Thanks.
