While I can't fault the fairly large number of respondents who picked
an MZ-S, 100/2.8, and the 24/2, I'd go for slightly longer lenses:
MZ-S, FA 200/4 Macro, FA 50/1.4
I'd travel to as many different countries as possible, trying to
capture the way different interpretations of 'civilization' have
spread throughout the world over the ages.
(I presume I'd have a light plane available, too, foe aerial shots).
I considered sticking with what I know best, and spending the time
following the Formula One circus around the world, with side trips
to the African big game parks. For that I'd take an MZ-S, an 85/1.4,
and one long lens (probably a 400/2.8, but possibly a 600/4).
