At 12:36 5/16/03, Mike took a poll guaranteed to get a googol of replies:
Given _lightweight travel_ criteria, i.e. one body, 2 lenses, period.
What would you take?

Mike

OM-4
50mm f/1.2 Zuiko
35-105/3.5~4.5 Zuiko

As I now have a 35-105/2.8 Tamron SP also, the reason for choosing the Zuiko is not the lens speed or other performance criteria. The Zuiko has a "close focus" feature and the Tamron does not. The Zuiko can be used to make quasi-macros which I've found quite useful in a pinch when I don't have the extension tubes and several primes (primarily the 85/2 and 135/2.8).
