Actually, some assignment / editorial photogs these days are getting by with
2 zooms--an f/2.8 super WA (17-35, that sort of thing) and an f/2.
Coming into this late, but...
1) a very small outfit - fast 24mm and fast 50mm, like 50/1.4 and 24/2
2) super-small outfit - ~40-42 (like my Olympus SP 1.7/42 rangefinder)
3) greedy mood : 15mm, 24mm, 50mm, 80-200/2.8, 400/4 or 300/2.8
(not too greedy is it )
4) normal kit - 17/20mm, fast 24mm, 8

Hi, Paul.
What a shit! This behaviour sounds really weird, since I would suppose
meter would also be dead if a electronic problem occurs. Are you sure the
batteries are ok?

A sensible strategy, Paul. I was distraught when I concluded that one of my
20mm lenses was probably 21 or 22mm. Then I realized that I could keep it
and sell my other 20 and my 24. Fewer lenses to store, fewer to choose
from, fewer to carry--who could ask for anything less?

I want a 20mm or a 24mm or both in addition to my 19mm, 50mm, 85mm, 100mm,
135mm, 200mm, and 400mm. The new 31mm Limited might be nice. Also, I think
the Vivitar Series 1 28-105 f2.8-3.8 zoom is one of the best zooms ever made
by any company and I sold mine! I replaced it with a mint 28-135 f4

Having "more" lenses doesn't mean you have to carry them with you,
although, when Erwitt traveled on assignment he usually carried his full
kit - two bodies, misc. items, and all his lenses from 17mm to 300mm. I
guess it depends on what you're photographing and what the circumstances
are.

Makes eminent good sense.
I'm all set on 35mm. ( Every prime from
15mm to 500mm) but I still want the
following for my P67:
55 F3.5 or 4
75 F4.5 or 2.8
90 F2.8
and
105 F2.4

Well ... how many high quality lenses are out there? When I ordered my
ZX-5n and FA 35/2 about a year and a half ago, I couldn't imagine I would
want more than a decent 35mm and a macro lens of some sort. However, since
then, I've acquired both of those and a few more--and the whole experience

At one time my base kit was an MX w the 35/2 and the 85/2. If I was to
replace it I think would get the 100/2.8 instead of the 85. At the moment I
have a 24/2, a 50/1.4 and an 80-200/2.8 as a base kit, more versatile but
somewhat more of a hassle to carry about.

With that in mind, you'll notice that I chose the smaller, lighter 600mm
lens, not the big 600mm/4.0 monsters. IAC, Fred, I "need" these lenses

100 macro

That's all. So I need to buy 77 Limited and FA 300/4.5 and wait for
Pentax to make FA* 70-200/4. In between I could squeeze to buy one
decent LX body.
