Well, the OM-2n is a given. You're correct in leaving the flash behind. Given
your choices I'd take the 24 and the 70-210. I suspect you'll use the 70-210
for 900f your shots, and most of those will be shot between 100-200mm. The
24mm would be useful for the expansive shots of the crowd. I'd probably shoot
mostly 400 speed film to keep my shutter speeds up and allow me to stop down
for more depth of field, which you probaby will be looking for. Assuming a
sunny day, with 400 speed film you'll be shooting at 1/500 at about
f/11-f/16. Some overcast and you may have to open a stop or two.
Wahtever you choose, have fun!
