Bumming-Around-Lenses. What Are Yours?

I take my camera wherever I go. My schedule doesn't allow for dedicated photo expeditions. I have to take what pictures I can get.
I can't take all my lenses with me to work and errand running. I take three. The 35mm f1.8 DX, 85mm f1.8G and the 55-300mm DX.
Once in a while the 50mm AF-D lens sneaks in the bag.

What lenses do you take if you don't know what you're going to shoot?

Not that I have an awful lot of choice, but 75% of the time it's the 70-300mm, 20% the Macro and occasionally I try to rekindle some love for the 50mm 1.8, but seem to be struggling.

Pretty much shuffled my 50mm 1.8 aside in favor of my 60mm 2.8 and of course the 16-85. Have been contemplating getting an 18-140 but have not yet done so.

If I am just going to take my camera on a walk I will slap on my Sigma 18-250 3.5-6.3 OS MACRO HSM. I live out in the stix and most my walks are around home or off another country roads and such.

The Nikon 24-120/f4 is pretty much my every day lens, unless I know I'm going to need something specific.

I've had a couple trips where I intentionally try to stick to just the 35mm/f1.8, or the 10-24mm, but usually the 24-120mm gets the call.

My Tamrac Velocity sling bag/backpack is small but has plenty of room. If I'm in doubt about what I might shoot and really want to be ready, I'll carry the trinity and a gripped body plus flash. If I casually going out bumming, it's usually the 24-70 or 24-85VR.

Bumming around I take the D7100 with the 200-500mm and the D750 with the 24-120 with me.
If I'm serious, I'll throw the 50mm 1.8 , the 70-300mm Nikkor and a rocket blower in my bag as well.
