Jerry,
Not only will it hold an complete OM system, it will hold an entire 8"x10"
view camera system in addition.  You forgot to mention the intercom system
required between the driver and passenger.  Repeat to yourself: "Wider is
better" until you encounter dense forest or ancient European city streets.
Then it becomes !@#$%^&* and you wish you still had an M151A2 (for which
narrower was very dangerous going around corners too fast).   ;-)

You can take a very nice portrait of your passenger using the 135/2.8
without having to get out of the seats (the 85/2.0 is probably too short).
