Thank you all for your good advice. No Miro, I have no weight limitation, but I seldom leave home with more than 2 or 3 lenses in my bag <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> ! I generally more or less know what I am going to do; if I shoot macro, it mostly is in my garden. If I do portraits inside, I bring 2 max 3 lenses. If I travel, the same. At the moment, I have one lens too many; the Sigma 50mm f2.8 macro, which is a brilliant lens, but my Nikkor 105 is more useful for the kind of macro work I do. Otherwise my Tamron covers all the tele work I do (and long portraits brilliantly). If I were to get rid of something else, it would be the 24-70. More and more I use primes for those focal ranges. So easy to take one step back and be in 24mm land or one step forward and be in 70mm range. The primes are faster, lighter and less conspiquous.
