Incidentally...more opinions needed. Trying to pair down my line-up for our Kauai trip. I've rented a 16-35/4 for the trip. I wanted AF and excellent quality for landscapes and a decent walk-around lens. So now, do I bring the Loxia 35 AND Contax 35-70? That's 3 35's...Also bringing my FE 50 1.4(I have my buddies 55 1.8 for consideration if only for size), and my Contax 100-300.
Input would be stellar!
Thanks in advance guys!

For me 35 is the perfect walkaround FL (on FF) and as it's the weakest FL of the 16-35 I'd take your Loxia (not like the extra weight is going to be noticed)
TBH when we are on walkaround it's rare that we are looking at achieving top quality shots, something special. They are usually just records aren't they ? Hopefully with a nicer composition or vision than average person perhaps but still just records nonetheless. If you do have somewhere outstanding to visit (or maybe for low light in the evening or for long exposures) then take your best lenses and leave your utility lenses behind in your hotel room.
As I don't have any standard zooms (previously on Nikon it was the Sigma 24-105.4) for walkabout I still have virtually the same kit of primes as when specialising, they all fit into a small Tamrac Messenger bag that takes both my A7r and A7rii and 3 lenses, filters and extra batteries or one camera and 4 lenses or in a Mindshift Rotation if I'm on a longer dedicated trip.
