Never been to Japan, if klaus is going to be shooting cityscapes and huge buildings yes an ultrawide is needed, however outside the city, the extra reach of 12-100 and having just one lens is extremely handy

That covers it for me. In past, I did try several times with normal to wide angle zooms, however always came back to primes. It must be me. ? I find it just fine to zoom with feet on short distances, with benefit of having better low light and DOF control.
In my case, that is 12/2, 45/1.8 and 35-100/2.8. A kilo together with the camera. Normally I do throw in also a 20/1.7 pancake, but do not use it most of time.
Wish you great time. ?

Nah, it‘ll be about temples, shrines, gardens and nature (Kyoto, Nara, Koyasan, Kumano Kodo). We‘ll be in Osaka for a day but that‘s about in regarding modern Japan.
Technically this translates to:
- dark places (temples) -> Dual IS will come handy
- neat details (shallow DoF)
- architecture & landscape -> at least 24mm
Not so much:
- long tele (>150mm)

That settles it then. The Olympus with the specific lens for dual IS, the Sony FF for 24mm being wide angle, and the Fuji with the 56mm f1.2 for the shallow DOF. Happy lugging!

OMG, I don't want to carry bricks across mountain passes ...
I did that once - never again ;-)
