Hi Stan, I would carry 21mm, 50-135mm and one other prime (35mm, or 43mm in your case). OT: I would also think what filters you want (polarizer for sure, uv for protection, may be even graduated nd?) It is good then your lenses can share some filters. I I were you I would scan through your recent photos and try to identify most used (and valued by you) cases: focal length, aperture, etc.
