Hi all,
Several weeks ago I posted a request for suggestions for lenses for a trip to
Kenya. I would like to thank everyone who responded again. For those who
might be interested, I augmented my normal, wide and short telephoto lenses
with the following super-teles: Zuiko 85-250/f5, Zuiko 300 /f4.5 and Zuiko
500/f8.
Now for the important (to me, anyway) question, what film should I take? I
would like be able to show slides, but more importantly, I would like to make
large prints of some selected shots (I have to justify buying these lenses to
my wife somehow ;-)). Has anybody shot the new Kodak EBX-100 (I have a roll
loaded up for this weekend). My long teles are pretty slow, so I suspect
that I'll need some at least 200 speed slide film (Ektachrome E-200 or
ED-200). I'll probably keep one body loaded with some 400 speed print film.
Somehow in the lenses buying frenzy, I ended up with two more bodies (OM-4
and OM-1N), so I have four now. How many bodies are enough for a trip like
this?
Thanks for listening...

P.S. I think I've crossed the line to Zuikoholism, I didn't really _need_
the OM-1N but it was way to pretty to leave in that dirty pawn shop :-)
