[QUOTE="marlof, post: 329398, member: 564"] My solution is 3 kits, so don’t count on me for sound advice. All focal lengths in equivalents, to make this cross platform understandable. 1. kit with DSLR styled body (bigger grip) two 2.8 zooms (24-80 and 80-300) and a 1.2 prime 50. For event type situations. 2. (And favorite) kit: rangefinder type body, and 24, 35, 90 and 150 fast primes. 3. (And smallest) kit: ridiculously small body with small prime(s) or zooms a) 40 prime b) 30 and 85 primes c) 24 - 64 and 70-200 mini zooms (depending on the occasion). I have a lot of stuff to choose from, but only bring a little at a time. I choose which kit to bring beforehand. Each kit has its own set of limitations. This approach works for me, and I don’t mind cheating (looking at a bag where I put the 2.8 standard zoom of kit 1 on the rangefinder body of kit 2, and have the small body with the prime 40 as backup. Still limitations: no tele, but like you, I like limitations. And a filled cupboard from which I choose my limitations for the day. [/QUOTE]
