31mm, 43mm, 77mm, 80-200/2.8 or 24mm, 43mm, 85/1.4, 80-200/2.8 or 20-35/4, 43mm, 85/1.4, 80-200/2.8 or A-20/2.8, 43mm, 85/1.4, 80-200/2.8 or A-20/2.8, 43mm, A*-100/2.8 Macro, A* (or FA*) 200/4 Macro Except where indicated, all are FA or FA*. Each successive wish-list spreads the range lower just a bit. The first grouping is the most compact (size and weight) but the 80-200 is as heavy as the others put together and takes more room than the 3 of them. Remains to be seen if it really gets added to the bag on a regular basis... In the Macro grouping, you might go with a 50mm and a 100mm macro instead of 100mm and 200mm, then a non-macro 200mm or 300mm for the long end. stan
