11-16 ultra wide 2.8
35 1.8 or faster prime 50 1.4 also ok.

Assuming you are using a crop sensor.

Won't bother with a general purpose zoom. Just use leg zoom.

If 35 is too up close and personal for you, I will lug along a 135 fast prime.

I'm a canon guy so my lens references will be with canon lenses. I'm sure Nikon or the aftermarket has equivalents.

If on full frame. I would just use wide angle zoom and fast primes. 16-35 2.8, 50 1.4 as the main go through.

The 85/100mm f1.8 Tele primes are good and cheap as well as the already aforementioned 135f2 if you want to utilize zoom compression on your portraits and shallow dof and fast enough to shoot with lower light conditions.

Anything else is just too much glass to carry around...or too expensive glass to risk travel. Works for most street photography and landscapes.
