Similar to mine, 24/2.8, 35-70/3.5-4.5, 75-150/4. Again 49mm filters for the
series. Also included, 12mm extension tube (just enough to get real close-ups
with the 35-70 or a bit closer with the 75-150! I also will sometimes throw in a
2x converter. I usually also bring a compact tripod or momopod. Sometimes, if I
feel the need to go wider, the kit will consist of 21/3.5, 28-48/4, and the
75-150/4. Again, all take the 49mm filters.
