I packed up my minimal camera gear set for an upcoming trip. I tried to balance between manageable weight and completeness in terms of meeting likely needs.
Cameras:
1. Bessa T .............. light and functional
2. Horizon 202........... for great panorama images
Lenses:
1. 25mm/4 CV .................... small and light
2. 35mm/1.8 Canon ............ small and light
3. J-3 50mm/1.5..................... very light
4. Nikkor Sonnar 85mm/2.0 ...... not small and not light
I feel that the set is "complete".
What is your typical gear for a trip?

Please forgive this SLR response but since I just packed my kit for a trip back to Texas for Christmas here it is:
Nikon EM
50mm lens (manual)
Sigma 21-35mm lens (manual)
and a VIvtar 80-200 (manual)
Now I am expecting in the mail my first FED2 and if I had that now and it all works properly I might pack:
Fed2
either a Jupiter 8 or Industar 22 (don't own either yet but trying to decide which I want)
and a Jupiter 12
Happy Holiday!
P.S. I also have a n XA2 in the mix...theme? I am cheap! (edited)

I have a 10 day trip coming up on the 30th.
For me it will be:
M2 + R2a
J-8 + VC 40/1.4 + J-9
and huge quantities of film. I always take too much film and end up only using 1/3-1/2 of what I took. I don't know whether that makes me a pessimist or optomist.

Bessa R3A (Industar 50 and Tele-elmarit 90)
Horizon 202
Lots of B&W and some slide film.
Not much of a 35mm person, maybe a 15mm suits me more.

A Rollei 35. Maybe, if the trip destination warrants it, the Contax IIIa with the 21mm Biogon.

Lately, I just take my Natura S Black (I love the 24mm lens) and a few rolls of film (either Elite Chrome 100 or Kodak ISO 400 C41 B&W; I've got a zillion rolls of the stuff to use up).

minimal ? who, never managed ! I would say : bessaR + VC 35/1,7 + VC 75/2,5 + many films. If more place available I would add Nikon FM2 + 50 /1,4. if more place ...uhh it is no more a minimal pack...

My regular kit is my minimal- M3, 50mm and a meter. I might also pack a VC 21mm, and if I'm feeling strong, maybe a 90 Elmarit. If I'm not packing light, I'll add another M3 body and a goggled 35 'cron.

I'm in the middle of packing for a trip to western NC I was supposed to take today (bloody snow!!!). I was done with my clothes/presents etc last night, but I still haven't sorted my camera bag(s)... I swore after my trip home over the summer that I'd never take so much gear, but it is so hard! I have tried more than once to cut it down from this...
Nicca IIIS & 35/2.5, col. 50/1.9
Nikkormat FT & 21/3.8, 35/2.8, 55-135/3.5, 300/5.5
Bessa L & 15/4.5
Rollei dt4000 (digi p&s)
My contax II & Rolleicord Va are sitting here as well, but I originally wanted to keep my kit limited to what will fit in my Safrotto 803 clone with maybe a little overflow. Decisions, decisions...
