The old S1 lenses are general very well built. If the 24-48mm is
anything like the
35-85mm you couldn't do much better.

The old Series 1 lenses are pretty tough? I have a
24-48/3.8 - I could probably get by with just that and
maybe a telephoto lens.

what sort of body/lenses would you bring?
Just how tough IS pentax equipment?
From a couple of months ago:
Friend of my friend has accidentally left his
*istD on the roof of his
car and didn't noticed it till he drove 0.5 km. By
that time 1.5 tons
weighting car overran it... See how it looks here:

Lens is completely destroyed, but *istD survived
and is still working
having only a few scratches on its bottom :-)
I'd bring an ist-D and the FA 28/2.8 AL for one
lens. Next choice would
be the Vivitar 70-210 Series 1 or the Pentax FA
50/1.4 or A 20/2.8,
depending what kind of shooting I was planning on. I
have a Tamrac
"Velocity 7" bag that I'd use for this kind of
travel.
