    One lens 150mm - I have a G-Claron

    Two lenses 150mm and 210mm (or maybe 240mm) - I haven't bought a second lens yet

    Three lenses - I wouldn't mind trying out a 90mm to add to the mix.

    I started to do this and then realized that if you are doing distant landscapes or shots in the canopy of a forest, long and short make it difficult. All bets are off if you are doing closeups or portraits.
