I can certainly understand the jam at the end. It made me think of many
trips to Hawaii to see family and friends at the holidays, and it all seems
to happen at the the very end of the stay. We'll make up for it in due
time.
A very old cat and very old mother are my current limiters, but let me know
the appointed hour with sufficient lead time, and I'll be there.
I'm too lazy to change lenses much anymore, so the P-L 14-150 is more or
less permanently fixed to my E-5. The 3:2 ratio of a FF Canaan might be
especially appealing in Alaska (as I have been noting in your photos), but
I seem to use a Tamron zoom with the OM-5DmkII quite a lot. For the last
trip that involved airports, the E-620 with the light zooms made a lot of
sense and I didn't regret it.
I haven't bought any photo equipment in a few years. An E-M1 of some
vintage is at the top of my list (some sort of afterlife for my E-system
lens is appealing to me), but I know the E-M1 is a slippery slope towards a
new lens set. I've been down this road a few times now.
