OK, that rules out that idea.

More my style, I think. I don't want to carry a heavy lens
or a tripod, and shooting handheld I wouldn't expect to
get much use out of the higher end of the 18-180 range.
On the other hand, I would use the 14-18 range for
scenic and architecture shots.
But if I'm shooting mostly at the short tele end of the
range, maybe the 50 f2 macro lens and 11-22 zoom?
