My standard NEX travel kit is:
-SEL 16mm
-Canon FD 2/35
-Canon FD 1.4/50
-Cosmicar 2.8/50
-Contax G Sonnar 2.8/90
-Soligor 3.5/100 macro or Sigma 2.8/90 macro.
Often I leave either Sonnar or macro at home.
I've recently got a few other interesting options so I intend to rotate between Sonnar, FD 1.8/85 SSC, FD 2.8/100, and Jupiter-9 in Contax RF mount as a mid tele and between FD 2/24, FD 2/28, FD 2/35 and thorium Nikkor-N 1.4/35 adapted to FD mount as a normal.

Sony has AF so if I want to shoot with kids it is easier, went for a kids b'day party so wanted to take an AF wideangle for video. Tokina almost never leaves the bag!

Current choice:
Wide: SEL16/2.8 - small and light weight that can even fit in one of the side pockets of my bag
Standard: A 50ish mm lens possibly the Konica 57/1.4 or 50/1.7 or zenitar m 50/1.7
Portrait/Macro: The Bokina 90/2.5 - portrait, flower, and street candid purpose
Tele: Rubinar 300/4.5 - For telephoto and candid shots providing enough reach without disturbing the subject, good for insects like butterflies and dragonflies as well as flowers |

I have tried different travel kits over years,but for the last two they are as follows:
For sunny countries (in oreder to minimise CAs and handle high contrast well enough):
Sony 16/2.8
Distagon C/Y 25/2.8
Distagon C/Y 35/2.8
Planar C/Y 50/1.7
Sonnar C/Y 85/2.8
Sonnar C/Y 135/2.8
The most frequently used lenses are 25/2.8 and 50/1.7
For more cloudy,northern countries:
Sony 16/2.8
MC W. Rokkor 24/2.8
MC W. Rokkor 35/1.8
MC Rokkor PG 50/1.4
MC Rokkor 85/1.8
MC Rokkor 135/2.8
And my preferable fls were as above.
3 years ago my kit was:
ZF Distagon 25/2.8
ZF Distagon 35/2
ZF Makro Planar 50/2
ZF Planar 85/1.4
C/Y Vario Sonnar 80-200/4
,but I found it much heavier ,(though slightly better by means of IQ),compared to C/Y set.
I have tried the lightest combo for longer trips as well:
Sigma 19/2.8
Zeiss G Biogon 28/2.8
Zeiss G Planar 45/2
Zeiss G Sonnar 90/2.8
SMC Pentax M 135/3.5
..and it's fine,but precise focusing with Zeiss G lenses through manual adapters is not what tigers like most
Forgot to tell:I take 2xNEX5N and NEX7 body with me.Wa and normal lens are attached to NEX5N's while short tele usually goes to the NEX7,which doesn't like wa lenses too much. 
BTW:Zeiss or Minolta MD are not necessary to have fun.One may select a set of different make with more or less similar fs.Enjoy!

My everyday kit:
Fuji X-E1
Voigtländer Super-Wide Heliar 4.5/15
Fujinon 2.8-4/18-55 OIS
Fujinon 1.4/35
Jupiter-3 1.5/50 (only sometimes!)
Voigtländer Color-Heliar 2.5/75
Nikon1 V1
1Nikkor 10-30
1Nikkor 30-110
1Nikkor 1.8/18.5
All that fits into a tiny Kalahari bag.
On a holiday I would add:
Canon EOS 5D
Sigma EX 15-30
Sigma EX 1.8/24
and probably a tele lens.
Canon G3 Infrared mod
Perhaps my M8 and the Voigtländer Ultron 2/28, depends on where I go,
because with those items I can do things I cannot do with the "daily" kit.
If the coming Fujinon 4/10-24 is not too expensive, I will buy that one as well and then even the 5D might stay at home.
