I'm in NYC right now and for the first time, i only brought my 40/f2.8 to force myself into using only one focal length. I feel like I'm back in the 1960s and will never do that again. I'm on the 37th floor, overlooking Time Square. I haven't process the shots, but I will end up cropping some shots that I wouldn't have to crop if I'd had my 24-105mm.

Ouch. I would never bring a single prime on a vacation. If my primary objective was street photography or something like that, then sure... but, when you tour a city you never know when you'll need the ability to zoom, since many times you're in tight places or places where you can't easily move to re-frame.

My bag is small, basically just enough room for the body and 2-3 lenses depending on their size along with a tripod and a monopod strapped to the side of it and a cleaning kit, extra cards, etc...

Yeah, I forgot to mention to mention the 50mm prime. I'll bring that for sure because it's so nice and small.

That is true Mark... and Rodi doesn't get proud very often. I also agree that if I could only take one lens, the 24-105mm would be it. It's my every day workhorse. I just wish they made a f/2.8 version of it some day, but sadly it would be like 50% more weight and cost a ton more.
