What's in YOUR - basic - everyday - lens kit? Don't be shy, now ... go over it in your head, and share it here ... it might help others ... okay?

and
Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro on a Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II (Silver)

The crop factor for these bodies is 2 and I normally carrry 2 bodies.

Awwwwww, how sweet, Richard .... you're INTEGRATED ... how 'bout that?

I guess you have a pretty fair range covered, between the two, huh?

That'd be what, now .... 24mm to 300mm, then - right?

In 35mm FOV terms yes, a constant f2.8, and relatively close focussing for the 12-40 (0.3x)

Not since my Tokina 100 f2.8 macro failed well befre it should have (~<1000 pics). I didn't replace it.

11-16, 24-70.

Same lenses as RT’s, one on an EM1 (40-150 2.8) and EM5 mark2 with my 12-40 2.8. Most of the time, I also have an extender (1.4) on the 40-150, so I am getting 210mm (420mm). This works out very well in my case. Sold my macro lens, just use these 2 zooms for close ups.

I couldn't be much happier when I carry my Nikon 24-70 f2.8 along with my Nikon 70-200 f2.8 of course, I have a Nikon Teleconverter in the daily bag as well.

That's quite a list.

If you don't post process, how do you get rid of dust spots etc, when they do occur?
