Just back from Japan and South Korea last night. Japan is an amazing country. Don't forget to visit Nara (from Osaka/Kyoto) and Miyajima (from Hiroshima). If time permits, do a day trip to Nikko from Tokyo. One of the most colourful temples in Japan was in Nikko. My 17-55mm lens developed a...

I do. Recently took it to South America and Canada. Carried a 7D, 17-55, 100-400, 100mm macro, GoPro, 430EXII and various bits and bobs.

Atos is a private company comprised of 'management consultants' doing a job outsourced to them by the government. There is nothing remotely related to healthcare professionals and what they do. Health care workers are also public sector employees and to deem them unfit to deserve the paltry...

I'm confused. Healthcare professionals are being paid to strike disabled people off benefits??

It is used to be an 18-55 and 55-250. Lightest combination to cover all your requirements

Believe me, if you plan to get serious about photography, this is the bare minimum weight you can expect to carry. I travel a lot and started off same as you, but with a real camera (Canon :D). The weight on my back increased over the years as the lenses got heavier and it is about to get...

Your 18-55 should be fine for skyline pics. That would be your basic walkabout lens at this stage. I would suggest taking one of your telephoto zooms as well, whichever you prefer
