The compact one is simply OM-3 and Zuiko 24/2.8 and Zuiko 100/2.8. Both
lenses are small and fit easily in my pockets, they both use same size
filters and I rarely need something longer than the 100mm lens.

24mm is great for city/landscape photos, because most of the time I can
walk closer, but can't walk further back. And 100mm is for those times
when you can't walk closer, or want a more compressed image. And of
course for those few times when I want to isolate a single subject.

On occasions, I alternate 24/2.8 with 35/2.8, without any real reason
behind it. (Because I just feel like it.)

Compact and lightweight? Sure is.

Cheers,

Saso
