Indeed. On my recent 4 day jaunt to Spain with the 17-40f4 and 70-200f4, I used the telezoom around a dozen times. All other shots were taken with the WA zoom. With hindsight, the 25-105f4L would have been a great one-lens solution but alas, I don't have one. Even better would be L quality optics in a lighter (but solid) plastic barrel. I also wouldn't take a FF magnesium alloy body again. Small, light and plastic will be my rule for travelling next time. To that end, I'm just about to offload a bunch of long heavy L lenses on eBay.

The EOS 60D + 15-85IS has a certain appeal ...
Or the SLT-33 with Zeiss 16-80. Actually I'm already kicking my ass that I sold the A33 after the review.
