I leave in a week and still have not settled on my camera gear:scared: I cant decide if i want to go simple with the 17-70 and the 75-300 with the 50 1.7 for fast or go multiple primes which would be lighter but more choices. I will mostly be roaming by myself with random meets with other family members so the switching lens time thing isnt really an issue. so I once again open the floor to anyone with suggestions from the list of lens below:confused3

I would go with the primes.

I would drive myself crazy absolutely needing something if I didn't have it. So I would take them all. :hippie:

I would definitely bring the primes... and the fisheye. :lmao: I wouldn't bother with the 75-300mm, but bring one of the 200mm primes and that will probably give you plenty of reach.

Other than that... pick your favorite lens in a few basic groups... wide, medium, tele, etc. Besides, flipping between M42 lenses is pretty quick and easy.
