Yea I was in kyoto during fall colours. There are a few places (temples) where a longer lens helps (200+mm). If I went back I'd probably take the 12-40 again or maybe buy a 12-100 but would also take one other longer lens. Problem is that as I've gotten older I've gotten lazy and am less willing to change lenses.

One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of the temples are good to visit at night (light shows); so something that can take pictures in relatively dark areas but also have high dynamic range is a big plus.
