i took both bodies with 18/35...(28/50)
for new york i'm taking the 14 and 35 (21/50) and maybe the 60 (90)...i missed the longer lens in vancouver.
I can understand you missing the 60 in Vancouver but won't the streets of NYC call for your wides? I'm only guessing, perhaps Helen can chime in here.

Travel is ALWAYS 2 bodies and at least 2 lenses.... Just when you think the one body you bring on a trip is absolutely immune to failure, Murphy taps on your shoulder and says Howdy!
Of course, if you're going to NYC, it'd be easy enough to buy a new body if the one you bring fails on you.

Joe, if you're quick and sure with lens changes in the field, such that you're worried neither about missing a shot nor dropping a lens while changing, then 1 body with 3 lenses. If not, or if the environment is such that there's a real risk of camera malfunction (water, dust, etc.), then 2 bodies and two lenses.

One body, three lenses...

replacements are readily available.
Enjoy the trip.

Depends on which bag....
Although in your scenario, 2 bodies and 2 lenses. Not what I'd pick if I could choose the bag...

Then 1+3, and stick the rx100 in some pocket as a backup.
Enjoy Gnu Yawk!

I only have the xe1...

Ah hah. But didn't you have the X100 (not S)? Or did I miss an iteration in your kit?

one body and 3 lenses--because I can't afford two bodies
... (That said, it'd be cool to use two bodies and two lenses--and never have to change lenses.)
