Having just returned from a field trip to France (uhm... not quite anthropological, but your description is very close to what I did there), I found that a tripod, 24/2.8, 50/1.7 and 135/3.5 was enough for 99.9% of what I tried to shoot ("people, houses, interiors, decorations, landscapes"). Ok, I have used 200/4 a few times. I had a flash, but haven't neede it even once (since I had the tripod, and LX sync is too slow to do daytime fill flash, at least too slow for me). Now, the winder? Why?
