 Mexico, Arizona, and Utah for about 10 days of shooting.  I'm not leaving
 for about 6 more hours, so I could still change my mind, but I think this
 is going to be the kit:
 
 OM-4T
 2 OM-2S's
 OM2000
 17/3.5 (Vivitar)
 24/2.8 SC
 28/2.8 MC
 50/1.8 MC "made in Japan"
 50/3.5 macro SC
 85/2 MC
 90/2 macro
 35-105.3.5-4.5
 85-250/5
 300/4.5
 Vivitar tubes
 BG2, T32, 2 T20's, assorted TTL cords
 Bogen 3221, 3030 tilt panhead, grip ball head
 
 This is not everything I own, but close. I will probably rely mostly on the
 zooms if I hike with the larger bag and tripod.  With hip pack and tripod
 or monopod, I will probably take 28, 50, and 90, with 85-250 in a separate
 bag/case.  The Vivitar tubes are solely for the purpose of close focus with
 the 300. The T20's are more likely to be my macro flash setup, if I do any
 of that.  The T32 is for just in case.
 
 Films will be Provia F and Konica Impresa 50 (for print film "backup": I
 use print film to back up slides in situations where too much shadow might
 be lost on slide film). I'll take Provia 400 for a fast film (OM2000 gets
 that job) and a couple odds and ends (E100VS and Astia).
 
 Hoping for a good day in the slots next Tuesday.  Keep a good thought! :-)

How does your 85 compare to the 90? Can you tell them apart subjectively?
