16-21-35-90 lenses, no flash.
With crop, 24-32-52-135
Should I include a 50mm lens?

I take one lens per day for testing out. Today it is the Hassey 50mm f4 from 1950s I think. Got a flash (not used) as well as nikon kenko 12mm ring (which was used).

Depends.. Most of the time I wouldn't even call it a bag. There's just the NEX+16mm in my coat pocket. Multiple lens outfit is the NEX+16+35/2.5Skopar. That's a nice combination of focal lengths, and I'm finding anything over 35 increasingly difficult to handhold still when the light's not bright. Haven't used the flash besides for some test pictures so far, so it's a stay at home thing mostly.

I use various setups:
1) MS Optical Perar 35/3.5 in coat pocket
2) Contax G 35/2 in larger coat pocket or in my daily computer bag
3) Sony 16, Perar 35/3.5, Skopar 50/2.5 in small bag
4) Sony 16, Contax G 35/2, and either Nokton 50/1.5, SMC Takumar 50/1.4, or Contax G 90/2.8 in a slightly larger bag (occasionally I'll bring one of the 50s and the 90 together for my "big" setup.)
Honestly, though, the Contax G 35 stays on my camera most of the time.

I really like the idea of the Sony 16mm and my CV 35/1.4. Sounds really tight.

I've found that my CV 35/1.4 at f1.4 is really only around a .5-.7 stops faster than my Contax G 35 at f2 in use, so I've been deferring to the Contax more and more.

recently it's been just the kit 16, along with the Hexanon AR 40/1.8, and 57/1.4.

I like having my CV 28/2 for a normal and the kit 16mm as a wide. I keep the flash attached, only for fill. For close-ups I screw on a Minolta No.2 close-up lens.

And my Sony Nex-3 body, with Minolta Adapter.

I am a one kit, one prime these days.
Currently, Nex-5 with kit 16mm and CV 28 f2.
I also sometimes carry a M-Rokkor 40 f2 instead of the CV 28.
And Jupiter-9 85 f2 if I am shooting a stage event.
If I think I will be shooting some wides, I take the CV 12 f5.6 LTM along.

Is your CV the MC or the SC version?
