For cultural travel, I just take a Fuji XE1 with the 56mm f1.2 and the Fuji 
X100S, which has a fixed 23mm f2, so a ultra lightweight, compact and fast 
combo of the equivalent of 35mm/85mm, which I have found quite enough 99.99% 
of the time. If I want wider, I just shoot a 2-3 frame pano with the X100S.

Have a good trip

Cheers
Jayanand
