I consider myself lucky to have both the faster 55mm, and smaller 49mm
versions of the Zuikos up to 100mm.  For low light, and car travel in the
U.S., I enjoy the 24/2, 50/1.2, and 100/2.  But while overseas for extended
periods of time, and weight issues, I wouldn't bring anything but the
following:

OM-4
OM-1n
21/3.5 or 24/2.8
50/3.5
100/2.8
(Maybe something longer for animals/birds.)

Film: Velvia, and Kodachrome 64 or 200.  (Kodachrome, with the Olympus 81c
filter, is beautiful with OM lenses.)

I find Olympus lenses are too contrasty with Polarizers.  So I'd bring an
81c and a 2 stop graduated.

That's it, for me.
