Going FF - need to settle on a lens-logic!

[panopticon]

You guys are really getting the inside of my skull spinning - it's good to know the machinery still works

As to the previous discussion about the logic behind primes vs zooms: I believe I am essentially moving towards the "best possible IQ under good conditions and below-par results at the remaining conditions"-end of the scale rather than the "optimum IQ under all possible conditions"-end. Especially considering how my kit is going to be centered around travelling, I just dont think the other option would work. I'd probably leave lenses behind due to weight and miss shots under any circumstances. Well, unless I got a superzoom to avoid missing anything, but the quality of the shots would simply keep me from bothering with the kit altogether...

HDNitehawk:
It's an incredibly helpful comment, I'll think about it. An idea would be to start with the 24mm and expand to the 35mm down the road, if I find a need for it. Alternatively I can always resort to the 16-35 and sell the 24 if I miss the 35, but can't overcome the weight of both lenses (and assuming I won't miss the extra light).

Edit: Out of curiosity, what do you (HDNitehawk) use to cover the remaining focal lengths in the spectrum?
