Agreed. I went on a work trip to the islands off of Phuket, and several days in the UAE.

I loaded up hard. R5, the "holy trinity" (15-35/2.8, 28-70/2, 70-200/2.8), 100-500, and an 85/1.2. I used two lenses, mostly one (the 28-70).

I am going on a trip, two weeks in Maui. And I'm going to take an X100VI, for most days, and mirrorless with 2 lenses for 2 or 3 of the days tops. I have an SSD with a CF/SD reader, and both cameras I will have have USB-C charging so I want to enjoy, but not have the experience be secondary to photography.

That packing list is honestly why I’m seriously considering the GFX100RF while I have a windfall available. That 100MP sensor allows so many possible shots via cropping, that additional lenses aren’t needed. The only downside is the lack of that sweet, sweet DoF for portraits, but seeing as how every one of my friends loathes being photographed, that doesn’t feel like a downside.
