<div>The Domke F-3X is a wonderful little bag, compact yet roomy, and
practically indestructible.</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>lightweight is a goal. The 180 is
wonderful, but a 'close to home' lens.<br>
The 35/2 duplicates the 35-70. The 50/1.8 for low light.&nbsp; The
24/2.8 for</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>wide angle (great lens!).<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Give up the 180/2.8 for the spare body. A
must!</blockquote>
<div><br></div>
<div>Well, I think I will take the spare body and leave the 180 at
home.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>In this case the 100/2.8 is of course in the range of the 75-150
- but it has been my favorite lens for so many years... I think I will
try to keep it and alternate 35-70 mm days and 100 mm days :-)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>So, my outfit so far... - not definitive yet!!!</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>OM-4Ti</div>
<div>OM-40</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>24/2.8</div>
<div>50/1.8</div>
<div>100/2.8</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>35-70/3.5-4.5</div>
<div>75-150/4</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Komura 2x converter</div>
<div><br></div>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Don't forget.&nbsp; Lots of batteries and
lots of film.<br>
</blockquote>
<div>The OM-4Ti is of the &quot;more power efficient&quot; variety.
Don't know about the OM-40 yet, it's a recent acquisition.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>And yes, lots and lots o'film.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>(Actually, I've been on the list 10 days and I've already
acquired a 180/2.8 and an OM-40... Maybe I should consult...)</div>
