The "go kit" again... Actually I could use some good advice.

The facts: 2 weeks travelling in India (independent travel, not a 
tour !), 6th time there, photography is an important part of the 
trip. I would like to take a rather light kit, fitting into a Domke 
F6 bag (i.e., 4 compartments for 1 or 2 lenses, plus space for 1 
camera body). And ideally, try to take only primes for once (small 
size, luminous).

The kit I had imagined until today:
OM-4Ti
21/3.5
35/2
85/2
135/2.8
Kiron 1.5x TC (i.e., 200/4 with the 135/2.8)
Viv 2x macro TC (i.e., 270/5.6 with the 135/2.8)

Plus:
Extension tubes (Oly 7 + Viv 12)
T-20 + autoconnector + 2m cord + Omnibounce
Very light tripod (Manfrotto 714)

Now, today I have bought a nice Tamron 350/5.6 (mirror lens), which 
can give me reach in a compact lens.

So... the kit I am thinking of taking now:
21/3.5
35/2
85/2 or 100/2.8 ?
Kiron 1.5x TC or Viv 2x macro TC ?
Tamron 350/5.6

And I also have available:
Tamron 17/3.5
24/2.8
50/1.8 MIJ
50/1.5 > 1.1M
50/3.5
135/2.8
180/2.8
200/4
35-105/3.5-4.5
35-70/3.5-4.5

Any thoughts?

Bernard
