For a lot of my travelling around last year, I had a two lens kit
consisting of body with 24/2 mounted by default, and a 65-200/4 as
second lens. That seemed to work very nicely, and while there's a big
gap in the normal-wide range, I never really missed it, whereas when
isolating elements at telephoto range, a zoom was often handy, and I
liked the closeup ability of the 65-200.
I also had an XA to carry around, because that fits in a pocket any
time, so when we were just wandering around I could still have something
to take photos with without having to be loaded down much more.
I'm occasionally tempted to replace the 65-200 with just a single
prime for the sake of light weight -- probably a 135/3.5 or something
very compact like that, but that might actually work better in a three
lens kit, 24/2, 135/3.5, and then either a 50/1.4 or 17/3.5 depending on
if I'm feeling brave enough to entirely ditch the normal range or not..
