What I do when I am on a purely cultural trip is take the X100S and the X-E1 with the 56mm f1.2 - makes for an light, fast, highly capable 35mm/85mm kit. The other thing I do when I really want to travel ultralight is to just take the X100S with the superb wide and tele screw on adapters - gives me a 28mm/35mm/50mm f2 kit I can carry in my pockets!
