When I travel light, I take 1 body, and 3 lenses.
the lenses are Sigma APO 10-20 F4-5.6 EX DC, Tamron XR Di 28-75 F2.8 and one of either my vivitar 85mmF1.4 and SMC-F1.7x AFTC or my SMC 135 F2.5
the idea is that the 10-20 and 28-75 are the two go to lenses, but I like also occasionally some extra reach so if I was really pressed about size and weight I would tame my 135, but for just a little more size and weight, the 85F1.4 plus the TC can do double duty as a portrait lens and with the TC a 145mm F2.5 medium tele, this pairing gives me AF and AE, something I don't get with the K mount 135.
