I find that business trips only afford limited times for pictures. I've
been getting by with smaller kits these days for those type of trips.
Typical Kit
Substitute Leica M, OM, or Pen F
2 Bodies (maybe 1)
1 Ultra Wide Angle (15, 21, or 24)
1 Wide angle or Normal (35 or 50/2 Macro) OR a mid-sized zoom
1 Telephoto (90 or 135)
Extra? 16/3.5 or 200/5.
T-20 flash
With three lenses such as a 21/50/90 trio, each offers a substantially
different viewpoint, and encourages the manual zoom (moving the legs) for
changes in composition.
Try smaller kits, they help focus you on picture taking, and not on
equipment toting, which is far too easy for me.

Well, I'm off on a business trip in the morning for three days. Probably no
opportunities for photography, but I'm hoping, so I packed a kit. I
struggled with what to take, but decided on:
OM-4T
16/3.5 - not sure why, but you never know
21/3.5 - I love this little lens
50/3.5 - Like I said, I'm using it more and more
35-80/2.8 - I was torn on the 35-70/3.5-4.5 or the 35-80, but....
75-150/4 - probably won't need it, but it is small, so
T18 - shouldn't need flash, but it's little.
Lots of Fuji, mostly 100 and 400, but one roll of 800, just in case.
Probably should take a second body, might at the last minute.
Don't know why I shared this, but felt an urge. Any suggested changes are
welcome.

P.S. I'm meeting up with a fellow listmember on Friday for breakfast. We've
discovered we both work for the same company and are attending the same
convention. Small world....
