I think that the 55-200 is automatically included in any list for me. The image quality is a tier above the 18-135 and it has more reach. Aside from that, there are a lot of ways I could go with this. I shoot a lot of landscape, nature, architecture, but I also shoot whatever is around me at the time.
One of my personal favorites for a limited travel package is:
10-24
35 f/1.4
55-200
A fair amount of the time, I go also go with a prime-heavy lineup in my bag consisting of:
16
23
35 f/1.4
55-200
For a zoom-heavy lineup, one of my favorites is:
10-24
16-55 or 18-55
55-200
Maybe add the 27 for street given it's cheap and adds almost zero weight.
I don't put too much emphasis on the WR lenses in most of my bag configurations. It's a nice feature that's an extra insurance policy for dust and moisture, but I put a great deal of trust in my bag. As of now, there's a lot of great lenses that are not offered with WR, so I treat that as an added bonus and use a bag that I have complete trust in so that a bit of bad weather doesn't keep my camera indoors.

I have left my old love of Canon for a new love of Fuji. I don't think I switched for any particular reason more so just for a change. After doing some research I settle on Fuji because of the constant firmware updates, lenses and the look and size of the bodies. I have ordered an X-e2 and the 18-55mm and waiting for it to arrive If anyone has saw any good tutorial videos to get started that would be great. I have a feeling I am going to have to get nice and acquainted with my new baby.
I only want to start off with 2-3 lenses and eventually get the 50-150mm 2.8. Does anyone have any suggestions on 1-2 good lenses to get started with on a budget? I was thinking the 35mm F2 and something else. Nothing crazy expensive like the 56mm 1.2 ($1000 CDN)
