Just got back from a trip to upstate NY. A former co-worker of my wife has family down there, and we were down to see the new place and their new (4-month old) baby.
I took the A9, Sony 20mm/1.8, Sony 24-105/4, and the Tamron 70-180/2.8. They fit nicely in my Lowepro Transit Sling 250 AW camera bag. Along with the Flashpoint TT685S flash, Flashpoint R2 Pro MarkII transmitter, batteries, MAGboob, and rocket blower. I couldn't find my bag with my ND-filter and step-up rings, but they would normally go in that bag as well. As we were intending to drive there with my wife's friend and her husband, we were trying to pack as little as possible. The A7r3 with the 24-240 that my wife normally uses stayed home. I would need the larger backpack to take two camera bodies plus an extra lens. (No room in the sling for just the A7r3 body - unless I didn't take the flash equipment, which I knew I would need)
The 20mm was great for scenic shots. Wide, but not too wide. I used the 70-180 when I could for portraits, as well as shots of people out on the lake. The 24-105 was useful for shots when there wasn't enough room to use the 70-180.
Sure, there were some shots of things out over the lake where I wish I had the 200-600, but for just a travel kit, I was quite pleased with my options.
