On a recent trip I took only the 28-105 FA 4-5.6 and the M200/4, as at that time it covered everything I had, except a 135 and a 400mm, which would have been just too heavy. I also took the AF330FTZ flash, and used 400 and 800 ASA Ektapress film. I found that covered most things pretty

Rob, It's been quite a while since I've saved someone's views into the Which focal lengths to carry question. But your comments were so insightful I've saved them in bold red. You may have even persuaded me to sell my Rikenon 28-100/4. Rob Studdert wrote: After a few days with the combo that

my travel (waliking around city, usually with someone, who's not much into this stuff :) kit is A24mm/2.8, M50mm/1.4 and M135mm/3.5 (or M200mm/4). this works perfectly for me when there's no time to swap the lenses, like your guided tour sounds. 90% of shots are covered by 50mm. but from time to

The last time I had a 2 weeks trip to Japan with my friends and I brought 1 body, 1 flash, 4 prime lenses only - Domke F6, Z-1p, AF200T, FA*24, FA43, FA77, FA100. While I enjoy the speeds and sizes of these lenses, switching lenses were always a problem (especially when the streets were
