Ultra wide angle landscape shots can be achieved by stitching.
Not the lightest set up but much lighter than carrying multiple lenses and very little quality compromise for the bulk of my photography.
If I am likely to encounter wildlife/birds I may substitute a 28-300mm or 80-400mm lens and drop into crop mode. I may also sometimes (when I am feeling strong or dedicated) add a pancake style lightweight wider angle lens to the kit.
