Thanks for responding Paul. I agree the 15-30 is a wonderful lens, probably the best WA zoom available in any dslr mount
What I neglected to say was I'm also thinking of taking my nisi filters on the trip. While the 100mm filters are large and awkward to carry and use, the 150mm set for the 15-30 is just too big to travel with. The da 15, or the FE 10-17, or even the sigma 10-20 are far more compact and can use the more compact filter set, if and when I get a chance to contemplate a sunrise/sunset

I'm really struggling with this dilemma folks. We are headed to Japan, China and Hong Kong next month
I could take the 15-30, 24-70 and 60-250 and have superb IQ for my k-1, but that's a lot of heavy kit for my arthritic hip to handle. I could go minimalist and just carry the 3 amigo's and the Dfa 100 (maybe with a couple of TC's for the 100) and something wide and light, but the only lenses I have that are wide AND light are for crop sensors. I could take the magical DA15 and be prepared to crop off the vignetting (or shoot in crop mode) so I get a 21ishmm field of view. But I would sure miss the versatility and convenience of the zooms. Maybe I could take the 10-17 FE and defish? Could I live with 16mp images?
I bought a 28-105 after reading this forum, with a view of using it as a 'travel' lens in lieu of the 24-70, but after the experience of the superb build and image quality of the DFA 28-70, the DA 24-105 sort of leaves me a little in the 'meh' camp.
I could revert to my trusty K-3 and take the 12-24, 16-50 and 50-135 (or 60-250) and have superb IQ for a crop body, but boy oh boy I'd miss the K-1. At least I would have the convenience of a sometimes useful built in flash
first world problems, I know
Any suggestions would be appreciated
