Mine would be:
OM-4 $350 (Recently CLAed, serviced by Photosphere w/upgraded circuitry.)
24/2.8 Tokina $100 (Heresy, I know, but excellent value and performance.)
50/1.4 $100 (Although I seldom use a normal lense.)
50/3.5 Macro $150 (Much used favorite.)
35-70/3.5-4.5 $125 (A recent favorite.)
75-150/4 $125 (One of my most used lenses for over 27 years.)
70-210/4.5-5.6 Tokina $100
Vivitar 2X Macro converter $50
For the bulk of pictures I take, fast lenses are unnecessary. Faster films
can easily compensate. I seldom use long lenses. 49mm filters will fit all
these Zuikos. 52mm filters fit the Tokinas. A 49-52mm step-up ring will allow
52mm filters to be used on all lenses.
As an alternate kit I would choose:
OM-2 $150
24/2.8 $125 (Would have to purchase this one.)
50/1.8 $25
50/3.5 Macro $150
35-70/3.5-4.5 $125
75-150/4 $125
300/4.5 $350
Vivitar 2X Macro converter $50
All of these Zuikos use 49mm filters and accessories, except for the 300mm,
which uses 72mm filters and accessories.
Budget, but quite versatile, kit:
OM-1 $125
24/2.8 Tokina $50
50/1.8 $25
35-70/3.6-4.5 Tokina $50
70-210/4.5-5.6 Tokina $100
Vivitar 2X Macro converter $50
52mm filters except for the 50/1.8. A 49-52mm step-up ring will take care of
the 50/1.8. Could be dispensed with due to the 35-70 zoom, but it's such a
neat lens. ;-)
