 24/2, 65-200/4, XA.

  I've been _very_ happy to have the former for gloomy interior shots /
exteriors where I can't get very far away, and the latter, while not
"light", covers a wide enough range for almost anything else -- and it'll do
in a pinch for "macro"-type shooting with the 200mm close focus setting.

 It does leave a fairly big gap between 24 and 65, but in practise, somehow
I never found myself wanting anything in that range; the XA's what I'd put
in my pocket so I always have _something_ to take photos with even if I'm
not intending to do so.
