I frequently travel to Europe for business and put in some holiday pix as well. I've found that for a light kit a D5000, now replaced by a D5100 with a Tameron 18-270 VR lens fits the bill.
Since I use the Hi Def movie feature, as well as stills, for record promotions, it has worked out well. With this lens and cropping in the viewfinder my shots and vid clips have earned return assignments. I recently ordered an adapter and tested the Haselblad Sonar 1.5.6 250mm to the Tameron at 250mm. The Sonnar was only marginally sharper on the D5100 in 24x36 print size. Recently added a Sigma 8-16mm to my kit and will take ti on my next trip.
