I'm in Greece now with my A6000, while my Nikon D800E sits in Pennsylvania. It's my second trip with my A6000, and I'm confident I'll get the shots I want. One caveat, seriously consider pairing the A6000 to a Sony/Zeiss 16-70 mm lens. The Sony lens that came with the camera--for the life of me, I can't remember the length--was too soft for my taste.
The 16-50mm came with my camera, and that's what I often use. I later got the 55-210mm.

Why not an xt20 or x100t or x70...seems odd to me to introduce a whole other system and lenses.
There's an interjection of common sense. The " days without it" streak is over.
Whew!

I figure every now and I should provide some useful commentary...not I'm set for the year. Nothing but smart-ass comments for the next 364 days from me.

My strategy in using a Sony a6000 and a6500 is to use the kit 16-50 and 55-210 but only shoot the sweet spot and allow auto iso to float up the best exposure. Keeping those two lens on the sweet spot enhances their available image quality (IQ). Not until the light begins to diminish do I occasionally get too much noise but Topaz DeNoise can deal with most of that. When I need an exceptional lens for low light or increased quality, I have a few Canon L lens and an adapter.

Which adapter do you have?

Valtrex and its merit and value is way over estimated at the factory. It does allow metering but with the live view metering that isn't needed. I would like it to autofocus for me now and then and that's about what it does but not usually when I want it to. Still, it connects my EF lens and I can deal with no AF so it does give me the benefit of lens connection so I'm good with it for now. From everything I've read all of the others say the same thing that Valtrex did about operation of the lens and I'm just not going to try all of them. I figure when one hits that is reasonably priced and known to work I'll get another adapter.

I ordered a Sony Cyber-shot RX10 Mark III today for a lighter travel camera. Yes, it's a point-shoot, but a 24-600 2.8-4 zeiss lens, shoots raw + jpeg, only a little over 2 lbs. Recommended by a guy at B&H after I said I wanted a lighter camera with a wide range of capabilities. Ken Rockwell has really nice things to say about it. I'll let you know what I think after I get it, if you are interested. You might google the camera and look at his review and photos -- I was impressed. I started out planning to buy the T2 that you have! (My "serious" camera is a Nikon.) Big downside of this one is price. But hey, no extra lenses to buy. Charlie
