Thanks for the size comparison. I could actually envision a very similar lineup. I already have the 18-55 and thinking about an UWA prime to go with it. Then, optionally, something like the 17-70 for when I want a little more coverage and/or quality (like going out to do landscape photography). 70-300 for tele coverage.

I don't need an f/2.8 midrange, but the 18-55 lacks range and the 16-80 isn't all that great, from all the reviews I've read. The 17-70 (or the 16-55 for that matter) is big enough that it's almost worth deciding that a Z with the 24-120/4 is a better solution, except there's no way to get good tele coverage without making the kit considerably bigger & heavier.
