Hi Nicholas and all,

My recommendation:

OM4T + OM1n
21/2 + 135/3.5
Mamiya-7 + 80/4
E-P2 + 20/1.7

About the M4/3 lens selection, I can't help quoting a phrase I read on a
Flickr discussion group:

"If your pictures suck, is because you're using a zoom -- loser"

:-) :-) :-)

That's sensible. In my two long trips (back in 2006) I took only one body
(OM-2SP) and three lenses: 85/2, 40/2 and either the 21/2 (Senegal) or the
24/2.8 (Uruguay).

But remember the main advice for travels: take half the clothing... and
twice the money ;-)

Cheers,
