What is your lightweight SLR travel kit?

I'm finding that I don't carry my SLR as much as I should because of the
weight. I'm curious - what are others carrying for a lightweight travel
kit and what do you consider an optimum lightweight setup? I would use
this kit while traveling as a tourist and while hiking.


Why does it have to be SLR?

My ideal travel kit is a rangefinder.

Anyway, I find the 21mm, 35mm & 90mm combination to be nearly ideal.

*If* you use a rangefinder, you can cheaply add a 15mm to that kit. The
21mm & the 15mm put together are smaller and lighter than any 50mm SLR
lens (and can share the same viewfinder).
111 degrees view with very low distortion! :-)

Ditto - been using a Canonet QL-17 and a FED 2
