Hi,
To be really small, I´d take the 28/2.8 and the 90/2. IMHO this would
cover most opportunities with least equipment. When you want more,
My next choice would be 24/2.8, 50/1.4 or! 35-70/3.5-4.5 and 90/2.
This would give a wider range, and like 24mm too. I guess there`s enough
light on daytrips so
I´d prefer the 35-70 over the 50/1.4, but this depends on what you wan`t to do.
19-35 + 50/1.4 + 90/2 is also be good combination, altpugh I can`t acess
the Vivitar zoom, but felxibility in the wide range is something I´ve missed.
I wouldn`t take more than three lenses, and won`t choose lenses which are too
close together.
