Firstly I'll say that the the kit I've settled on of late allows me to comfortably lug about a combination 67 RF and sub-35mm digital SLR kit. I usually pack a one or two lens kit for the 67 if it's a one lens kit it's my 65 if it's two and tending towards scenics the 43 and sometimes 43/80. As I've mentioned before shooting with the *ist D and it's smaller than 35mm sensor has forced me to pretty much have to review the purposes of my existing lenses, still not happy about this. As a consequence I've been struggling to find an appropriate medium WA solution for the camera (but more on that later) So my current kit generally consists of A20/2.8, FA31/1.8, A50/2.8 macro, V125/2.5 Macro and 1.7AF TC. If I still have room or have a particular vision in site this can all change but generally that's my all purpose kit. The lenses are well matched so produce nice consistent results and cover a good range of FL and shooting situations.
