My travel kit has been moving that way-- a 24/2.8 and either the 65-200/4
or the 50-250/5. The 65-200, if closeup may be needed (50-250 is pretty bad on
that), or light is lower; the 50-250 for brighter light, or compactness (it's
actually shorter when zoomed back). Often I add a Stylus Epic for quick grab
shots.
You can whip it out, open, and shoot with one hand in a moment. Sometimes
the 28-48
substitutes for the 24. Also a mini-DV comes along.
Travel photog Richard L'Anson seems to work with two 4Ts and the 24/2 and 100/2,
although lenses and a body with higher speed film come along for special cases.
Sam Abell likes a 28 and 90.
