The one thing missing to make it the ultimate travel camera is a light weight, wide zoom lens. When I travel 24mm is just not wide enough. Too many cathedrals, bridges, castles, etc demand at least 15 or 16 mm. The wide zoom lenses in this category are all over 1 lb. They are heavier than the RP itself.

I looked high and low for some kind of answer to this when I was on Sony. The sad reality is if you want a decent ultrawide zoom- it's gonna be at least 1 lb. I feel your pain though. I have found that with architecture a wide prime works fine. The buildings aren't going anywhere I can take my time. I like a 14/2.8 for that use.
