John:
On my last trip to Europe, I forced myself to take one body (an OM-4) and three
Zuikos: a 21/2.0, 28/2.0 and 100/2.0. I thought I'd miss all the extra kit,
but in fact it was quite liberating (not to mention *much* lighter and easier
to pack into my carry-on). I'd really forgotten just how much I like my
28/2.0, for example. I intend to continue taking just pieces of my kit, rather
than every bloody thing I own. ;-)
