Cycle Touring Lens Kit

I am off cycling touring soon and want to take my K5 and MZ6 (for slides).

From the range of lenses in my signature below, what do you think I should take (to keep the weight/bulk reasonable)?

I am thinking 16-45 + 55-300 for K5 + Rikenon 50mm for MZ6.
Apart from wider than 20mm, all lenses seem to work on both bodies.

Any thoughts welcome.

Well, I have been touring for the past 4 months so should be able to offer some good advice. Or not! My kit consists of 3 primes and one 80-210 zoom ... or did untill a few days ago ... 90% of the time I have had the 43mm mounted and the 80-210 I have hardly used at all.

One thing, you should consider is where to keep the gear - it is a must to have access to it without having to get off the bike and dig into deep cycle bags.

Now, some thief picked my camera and 43mm some days ago, so I don't have to worry about this at all

Enjoy your trip and be prepared to answer a lot of questions from strangers (You must be very strong? How long do you go in one day? etc. And in "my" part of the world: You travel alone?)

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, Joel.

I usually have K5+16-45 in my rucksack and then other bits accessible near the top of the pannier bags.

I usually get accosted by old gents, for whom my Dawes touring bike brings back memories.

Pac safe products? Run through the frame and locked?

my kr, 50 1.4, 16-45, and 100 macro made this trip:youtube video
not exactly bicycling, but pretty much the same storage limits...
As for security, keep your valuables on your person... I use a pelican case and locks or camera bag inside my main backpack....
