Hi Mark and others
I just spent three weeks carrying my gear in a LowePro MiniTrecker. I took a
small flash, a small tripod and four lenses (with my Super A):
1.  2.8/28-70mm (Tokina ATX-Pro II)
2.  2.8/20mm (Pentax A)
3.  4-5.6/70-210mm (Pentax F)
4.  1.4/50mm (Pentax A)

If I had to leave one of them at home; it would be the 1.4/50mm lens. I
definitely would not have gone without the 20mm - for scenery, architecture,
street life/reportage. (I shot from the waist a lot - this lens will be
sharp from ten feet to infinity at f8).
I only used the 70-210mm for wild life, but I think it's too slow (the
animals are the most active around sunset, so next time I'll bring VERY FAST
film or no telephoto).

Best Regards
Jens

So which three did you take?

Good question for everyone to answer:
"If you were limited to just three of your lenses, which ones would you
pick?"

For me it would be:
FA* 24/f2.0
FA 50/f1.4
F 70-120/f4-5.6  (Yes, a zoom! Even I'm amazed.)
