What lenses to bring for a trip to Paris and a tour through France

I’d take the 2 zooms plus the 50 1.7.

Thank You to all for your suggestions. I decided I will take the 16-85 which will be the go to lens for the tour part of the trip. I will also take the 15 and 21 Limiteds for our Paris on our own, street shooting. Space permitting, the FA 50 1.7 may also come along

If you trade the 21 for the 35, you'll gain about a stop which is useful for indoor. 35mm gives close to a "normal" perspective and with the flat macro FOV, will be handy for photos of artwork.

The DA21 and the FA50 for low light shots and longer when needed.

Yep. I use the 35mm for art work. The kp has built in lens correction which is amazing. Is great for street too.
