i feel quite similar to the op. i use a 3 prime kit.

the two ones that always come are the 15mm and 31mm.

i often grab either the 70mm or a 135mm pentax-m to keep it company. thanks to a recent suggestion on the forum, i use the 31mm with a 58mm-49mm step down ring to keep myself at 49mm throughout. i pair this set up with a 49mm polariser, a 10 stop nd filter, and a tripod, and that's a nice bit of compact travel kit.

My 3 lens lineup is 21/35/55-300 or 16-45/50/100, so that there is at lease one fast lens.

I'm considering rationalising to (Samsung)12-24 , 17-70 sigma EX f2.8 and TAMRON 70-200 f2.8.
Unfortunately I don't own the Sigma and Tamron yet.

On film it would be my Sigma super wide II (24mm), M35 and M 100 macro. I'd sneak the M 50 1.4 in too if nobody was looking.


I really should get rid of my 2 MX's, ME Super, LX and (some) M series primes, as I don't use them much any more, but I just can't part with them......

However I'd really like a K5 too......

I guess I'm just a hopeless case.
.........all the gear, no idea!
Me super, MX, LX, K5,DA 18-55WR, DA 17-70, DA 55-300, DA40 Ltd, FA50 1.4, Samsung D-Xenon 12-24,Samsung 100mm macro M50 1.7(x3), M28 3.5, M35 2.8, M100macro f4, M135 3.5(+others)

I was thinking of using the same setup on my 31mm. Does the step-down ring cause any vignetting [on an APS-C camera]?
