After years of shooting, I found that there is less prep involved (and less possibility of forgetting something critical) if I have a standard stable that travel with the camera, plus an additional case of specialty lenses. That way I know I have a 90, 120, 150 and 240 always handy, and can use others if I want a special effect. The standard lenses give me, Wide, Normal and Long, with a useful semi-wide. They are smallish lenses (particularly the tiny 120), so do not add a lot of weight. The lenses in the additional case may vary from Petzvals to soft-focus, portrait lenses or various odd pieces that I am testing out.
