I'm confused - user names ???

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.

I'm confused. This reads like a response from the OP, but it's a different user name ???
