You can probably get the entire ocean w/ the 24 :-) I can't imagine you want anything less than the longest lens you have, and longer.

Would like input on what folks would take (lenses, film speed/type) on a smallish boat for a short (2 hr) whale watching trip on the central Oregon coast. Chances are it will be at least partly cloudy, but we may get pretty close to the whales. I was planning to take my OM1-MD instead of my 2SP because I lack a circular polarizer, the 1-MD is more beat up and if it fell in, I wouldn't cry as hard (but I would jump in after it). Here's what I have at my disposal:
24/2.8
28/3.5
50/1.8
135/3.5
70-210/4.5-5.6
2XA TC
linear polarizer (is it worth is to get a circular one for this trip?)
OM1-MD
OM2SP
