Well, I am 190cm/95kg, but...
Maybe not for regular carrying, still, 180/2 is not much heavier or
bigger than 300/4.5 (presuming every serious member of this list knows
the technical details of each and every Zuiko from his/her head, I don't
need to write down their weight :-)
And with converters, you have a top-class 180/2, a good 250/2.8 plus
(supposedly) not so bad 360/4. Worth carrying extra 880g, at least in
the situations one would bother to take the 300/4.5 with.
Even the great combo 500/5.6 could be good for flat sunset shoots... I
have no ambitions in wildlife photography; photographing fishes in my
aquarium has taught me where the limit between fun and hard work is...
Alas, it is more or less a dream at the moment. Unless our friend Garry
R., the renowned OM equipment broker, can dig a good offer :-).
Best regards, Marko
