I was about to recommend an OM-1 or OM-2 on the basis of ruggedness but
then I thought about the vibration and the tiny galvenometers in the
meters. Maybe a 2s being solid state might be a better choice in the
face of unceasing vibration. In any event I'd place the camera inside a
pocket of soft, vibration absorbing foam. And maybe also inside a cloth
or plastic bag so that the body doesn't get burnished by constant
rubbing against foam if the foam pocket isn't tight fitting.
Lenses? From my own stock I'd choose 24/2.8, 50/3.5, 35-70/4 and Kiron
70-150/4. It there's space for another I'd add the 50/1.8 or 1/4 for
something able to handle low light. Lacking the Kiron 70-150/4 I'd take
the 135/3.5 and, of course, I might have to add the 85/2.
Heck, maybe I'd just add a trailer and take everything. What will you
do for a tripod?
