Last year my in-laws came over to visit. Before they came to Ottawa they did a trip through places in the Cdn Rockies. Father-in-law brought along his Spottie and 55mm lens. Travelling light, he left his other lenses behind but brought along a teleconverter too for the versatility. The idea was good, but unfortunately he chose a 2x converter of less than stellar quality. He was just so incredibly disappointed that this year he arrived sporting a tiny Minolta dimageX. Having said that, if I had to choose just one fixed lens to take on a trip, then I'd go with a 50mm too. Wendy =====
