  • Panasonic Leica 15mm f1.7
  • Panasonic 7-14mm f/4.0
  • Panasonic Leica 25mm f/1.4
  • Panasonic Lumix G 12-32mm f/ 3.5-5.6
  • Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm
Suggestions??
Frankly, that's one of the strangest lens collections I've ever seen. You have a lot of redundancy there in the wide range. And nothing in the telephoto range. I'd bring the 7-14 and the 12-32 out of those. But you also need something longer, IMHO, such as either the Panasonic 45-150 or 45-175mm lenses. And actually, it depends upon what you shoot, but you might possibly be able to get away without bringing the 7-14, which is your biggest lens by far - but also your widest - not everyone uses ultra-wides very much. And possibly bring ONE of the faster primes - whichever you use most, between the 12, 15, 20, and 25mm. I personally would pick either the 15mm or the 20mm out of those.
