Gear choice for Sorrento trip tomorrow

I'm off to Sorrento for a week tomorrow and I'm trying to decide what camera gear to take with me. I've got the following to choose from:

Sony A7R3
Sony 35mm 1.8 FE
Sony 28mm f2 FE
Sony 55mm 1.8 FE
Sony 85mm 1.8 FE
Sony Zeiss 16-35 F4
Sony 24-70 2.8 Gmaster (first gen)
Fujifilm X100V

So I want to travel light as we'll be doing a lot of walking and whatever I take will need to fit in the Peak Design Everyday Sling 3L, so I'm instantly thinking the 24-70 GM is out. The weather forecast doesn't look amazing so it'll need to withstand a bit of rain. I've got the front element weather kit for the X100V. My current thinking is either the X100V, or the A7R3 with the 35mm 1.8.

Open to other suggestions or recommendations.

Cheers.

Probably pick the x100v if you want really lightweight gear, 23mm f2 still gives you the FF equivalent of 35mm but you lose out on the aperture from f1.8 to f2.

Yeah I’ve packed the X100V. Just a bit concerned about the weather, forecast wind and rain for the first few days and I’m not quite sure how good the X100V’s weather sealing is, based on a few horror stories that I’ve read.

Ended up doing the quick switcharoo and packed the A7R3 with the 35mm and the 55mm. Probably only end up using the 35, wish I had a 24mm prime also. Maybe that’s something to think about for future trips.
