I have an an A 50/1.7 and an A 28/2.8. It will be a trade-off between the speed of the 50 and the wider angle of the 28. And John Sessom's suggestion, I think I'll look to Op-Tech for my solution for carrying the camera, in part because it will be inexpensive, in part because it comes reasonably close what I think I need/want.
i would take both; they are small, and having both myself (well, i have the _FA_ 28) i have to say that while i love the 50, it is simply too narrow for some shots, especially when traveling (then again, the 50 has practically no distortion, so you could do hand-held panoramic sets and stitch them later)
even with both, you may still feel somewhat constrained by lack of a true wide angle; that is what eventually led me to the DA 15; it took a while because it's in a different price range even when a bargain; but the DA 15/4, A 28/2.8 & A 50/1.7 together weigh only 562g!
