>I'm REALLY going to go small this time, as I've found that lugging any
sizable kit around for a week kills me.  I don't >understand how you guys
can carry those kits with 3-4 bodies and 4-6 lenses around.
Couldn't agree more!

>As someone pointed out, I'm taking a kit to take travel pictures, not
traveling to take pictures, so my selection will be much >more restrained
and within the limits of what's family-friendly.
I go for a bit of each, and I'm still with your plan.

>Currently, I'm planning on:
>
>2 bodies, one to stay in my bag
>21mm
>35mm and/or 50mm
>90mm
>Polarizer for the 35/50
>Film, Portra 160 and 800, maybe some chrome
>Flash
>P&S for my wife
What, no XA for the pants pocket!?!?!?

>And that's it.  No long lens, no Macro, no zoom.  It will all live in a
Hadley Pro bag or in a belt system.
Wow, were we separated at birth? (except I use a Lowepro belt bag)

>Reservations:
>- - Longer lens (200?)
>- - Macro
Reservations for hotels only, and maybe better resturants.

>Oh, and shhhhh........I'm going to take a Leica kit, no SLR's this time.
Am I crazy?
Only as regards owing so many systems and not an Xpan among them!

>If I was to switch to an OM-4t (which I may still do), I'd take the 21/3.5,
35 shift, 35-70/3.5-4.5, and the 135/2.8.
You could do worse, although I don't see the need for the shift.
