fast_primes Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 For me, it's the OM4 plus lenses 21F3.5, 28F2.0, 50F1.2 and 100F2.0. This all fits neatly in the Leica famed - Domke 803 bag. I used to own a 180F2.8, but used it so rarely I sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neild Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 I like to take an OM-1n and/or an OM-2n, with 21/2, 28/2.8, 50/1.4, 135/2.8 - and sometimes the 16/3.5 as well, as you just never know when you'll need a fisheye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 I can fit an OM-1 and three Zuikos (28/2.8, 50/3.5 Macro, 75-150/4 zoom) along with hoods, a filter or two, caps, etc. and a couple rolls of film into a Lowepro Off Trail waist bag. Very handy and comfy. The tiny Zuikos with the 49mm filter thread easily slip in and out of the slim side pockets of the Lowepro waist bag. The larger 55mm thread mount Zuikos wouldn't fit so well. I wouldn't call this a "travel" rig. More of a day rig. If I opt for my Beseler Lifestyle series "canteen" shoulder bag I can add the T20 flash, more film and a few other small items. Much lighter and handier than toting my Nikon gear which generally requires a larger shoulder bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny_c. Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 I can carry quite a bit eqipments in the Lowepro mini trekker. Two cameras with long lens (< 200mm) attached and 8 short lenses (< 100mm). Probably I will carry OM4t, OM2n, 200/4, 100/2.8, 50/1.4, 35 shift, 21/3.5, 18/3.5, and 16/3.5. At the destination, I will decide which one or two camera to use with 2 to 3 lenses maximum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim couch Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 My kit will vary depending on where I am traveling, and what I am planning to shoot. But my primarary travel kit usually consists of: OM-4ti and OM-3 bodies, 21 f/3.5 w/hood, 28-48 f/4 w/hood, 75-150 f/4, 49mm polarizing & warming filters. If I am going to be shooting a lot indoors (museums, chruches, ect) I bring the 21 f/3.5, 28 f/2, 40 f/2 and 85 f2 instead. For climbing I often bring only one body and a 35-70 f/3.5~4.5, a light compact kit. Jim Couch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basscheffers Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 OM4 + 24/2.8, 50/1.4, 100/2.8, 200/4. Got everything covered that way. Loose the 200 and it will all fit into a very small bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecarter Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 OM-2/s with a 3rd party 28 f/2, 50 f/1.8, 135 f/2.8 and if I'm really feeling uppity, 80-200mm f/4.5 macro (Soligor lens). I had been using a 28-80 zoom, but I was never really happy with it and it's bitten the dust lately - oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_shia Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I have two bags on a subset of the other. In the my big bag (F64 backpack) I carry an OM4T and OM2S (in addition to a Mamiya 7II 65mmF4). Packed in are the following lenses 24mm F2.8, 28 F2.8, 50mm F1.4, 50mm F2, 100mm F2, and 180 F2.8. My small bag I take either the OM4t or OM2S with my favorite lens 24mm F2.8, 50mm F2, and the 100mm F2. If I want to travel lighter, I omit the either or both of the 50 or 100 lens. I am looking for a 21mm F2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwilburn Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 For lightweight travel I used to carry one OM-1 body, 28mm f/3.5, 50mm f/1,8 and 100mm f/2.8. Now I tend to favour 24mm f/2.8, 35mm f/2 and 100mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_rosenlof2 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I've taken a few trips with an OM1 and a 50/1.8 worked great. Earlier this year, I spent a couple of weeks in Japan, and following the "if your photos aren't good enough, you're not close enough" pholosophy, took a 100/2.8 instead of the 50. Sometimes that was a bit limiting, but usually not. I haven't decided yet which of these is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob loxley Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 My Lowepro Nova 3 bag currently has in it an OM4, OM2sp, 17mm f3.5, 28mm f2.8, 50mm f1.8, 100mm f2.8 and a few filters, spare batteries, film etc. - but the most used lens on my last trip was the 35mm f2.8 shift lens! My Tokina 80-200mm f2.8 is just too bulky and heavy to walk around all week with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_goldfarb Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I'm with Gene! I generally just carry one OM body (I have an OM-2n and an OM-G), the 100/2.8, and the 24/2.8. If I want something faster, I bring the 35/2 for my wide-angle. (On rare occasions, I may carry the 50/1.8 as a fast lens, but since I really dislike the "normal" view, I rarely use it.) Before I had the 24/2.8, I used the 28/2.8 (which I had on long-term loan from my sister) - both are GREAT lenses. And that 100/2.8 is just magnificent! And, as far as my possibly feeling underprepared with just a single OM body, I generally also carry a Minox submini or two, but that's a whole other story...

john_fleetwood Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 On my recent Key West vacation I brought my OM-2, a 28/3.5, and a 50/1.8. I have to confess I took more photos with a Pentax UC-1 p&s that I had in my pocket. The UC-1 for color, the OM-2 for b&w. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglas_green1 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 An OM-1n, an OM-4, a 28mm f2.8 Zuiko, a 50mm f1.4 Zuiko, & a 75-150mm f4 Zuiko does the trick for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
