The 135/2.8 is a very nice lens. You'll like it.
Enjoy your trip.

Thanks for all the good advice! Roger, Tom, Michael, Scott, Paul,
Skip, Henrik, Chris, Rolf, Bernd...
So, finally, I think I'll take:
(In the photo bag, Domke F-3X)
OM-4Ti
Base kit:
24/2.8
35-70/3.5-4.5
100/2.8
Plus:
50/1.8 for low light
135/2.8
2x K*m*r* converter
(In the backpack, as a reserve)
OM-40
Unfortunately I cannot keep both the OM-4 and the OM-40 with lenses
mounted in the bag, together with the other lenses. So the OM-40 will
have to make conversation with my socks...
By the way... the 135/2.8 is new in my kit, I did not have it
yesterday... Well, I went shopping this morning. *That* was a mistake
(or was it?) - I came back with a 135/2.8 (MC) and a 200/4...
Actually, some kind of grossly exaggerated homeopathy, treating my
Zuiko-addiction by a tiny dose (did I say tiny?) of Zuiko medication
:>} Let the good Dr Maitani cure me.
Why the 135 rather than a 75-150 zoom? I figure the zoom overlaps too
much with the 100/2.8, which is my "what would you take with you on a
desert island?" lens. The 135/2.8 is more compact than the zoom, has
a higher aperture, and can give me a 270/5.6 of sorts with the 2x
converter.
