I have been using various Canon cropped and FF dSLR's for years, now with the 5D. I am just getting into the MF game now with the Contax 645 system. For an upcoming trip to Europe with the family I want to bring the Contax, but the difference in weight is rearing it's ugly head. I have learned from experience that when traveling, a heavy kit doesn't make it. My mantra is "lighter is better". I can use a backpack, but would prefer to use a shoulder bag which of course presents serious limits on the kit. A nice midrange zoom was my preference with Canons. But I don't know now...
What do you recommend? I have the 55, 45-90, 140, and 1.4 mutar. My current options are:
55 alone
45-90 alone
55 plus 140 (with Mutar)
I am leaning towards the single prime option.
I have never traveled with only a single prime. Will I get too frustrated with the 55 alone?
