The camera kit situation is pretty good. If anything, it'll be a 
question of cutting stuff out. I think I'm going to try to cut it down 
to 2 bodies and 4 lenses to get something that's pretty versatile yet 
still light and portable.

Current thinking:

2 OM-1Ns
21/3.5
35/2
50/1.4
135/3.5
2x macro tele-converter

Other possibilities would be the 85/2 (love the lens but it's in need 
of a CLA to fix a sticky aperture) and/or 200/4. I think with the 2x 
converter I can get away with not taking the 200mm. I have some other 
wides (24/2.8, 28/2.8) but I think the 21mm and 35mm should be fine. 
The Tamron 90/2.5 macro is pretty big so I think that will stay home. 
Where I'd be living there for 4-6 months I could probably take a bigger 
kit but I think I'll keep things small as I may do some travelling in 
Asia after that and I'd want to keep things pretty lightweight then.
