I fully agree with Garth's doubling rule.  My three lens kit for two 
weeks in the south of Sweden was 24/50/100.  My wife beat me for 
simplicity.  She used a 35-105mm/F3.5-4.5 on her OM-1n.  990f the time 
I did not regret leaving my 200/5 at home.  It was a wonderful way to use 
a sack full of Provia 100F.
