    Beware! There is a "new lens factor".
    Each new lens, no matter what it is exactly, wants to constantly sit on the camera and shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot ...

    Vidalgo got a reaction from marcelo_valente in Neck or sholder strap?   
    By the way, a short neck strap lets a new feature when used on the neck and at the same time on the left shoulder. Photographer's body became a good steady tripod.

    When I got X-T1, I was very disappointed for its stock leather strap and immediately put a simple fabric strap from my old camera (curiously also Fuji). The strap has not fancy soft bumpers, anti-slip etc, just strip of fabric 1 inch wide, so it takes minimum space in bag.
    I usually wear a shirt instead of T-shirts, and the weight of the camera is relatively small, so the use of the neck strap is not uncomfortable for me. The length of the strap is adjusted to a minimum so that the camera hanging just above the start of the abdomen. In such position the camera very well controlled and protected from something outer while both hands are free (and they can further protect the camera by sabers and pistols   )
    I am mostly a travel photographer in urban areas where using of neck strap has natural look. When I walk in risky areas, I use strap as a wrist strap just by wrapping it  around the wrist hand. It's a bit tricky and adding of a grip to the camera required, but works fine, can keep the camera for hours without discomfort.
    I could never understand the meaning of wearing the camera floating on a long strap somewhere on the side or rear. If you are not expected to use the camera in next half-hour or so, is anyway better to put it in a bag.

    You need to keep yours things well controlled and secured on busy Barcelona's streets, so lens swapping may be a bit problematic sometimes. Then versatile 18-55 will be good option for most of time. With 12 and 50-230 in the bag when you are really need it. Probably 12mm will be more frequently used than long lens. I had big problems when visited Sagrada Familia and had only 24mm on wide end.
