I solved the problem in typical Zuikoholic fashion, and traded to achieve
the following stable of Zuikos:
35-70/3.5-4.5
35-80/2.8
300/4.5
135/2.8
90/2.0 macro
50/1.4
50/1.8
50/2 macro
35/2.8
28/2.0
24/2.8
21/2.0
18/3.5
16/3.5
So maybe a bit excessive, but it does let me choose whether to travel with
a light kit, which would be:
Tokina 70-210/3.5-4.5 SZX, 50/1.8, 35/2.8, 24/2.8, 18/3.5, 16/3.5 FE (it
ALWAYS goes),
or a heavier kit:
300/4.5, 135/2.8, 90/2.0, (50/2 or 50/1.4), 28/2.0, 21/2.0, 16/3.5 FE
Naturally, the 35-70/3.5-4.5 or 35-80/2.8 may substitute at times, and I
usually throw an extension tube or two into the light kit for close focus.
But after all that, I most often just go for a walk with the OM1n and
whichever lens I haven't played with for a while..... These lenses all do a
very fine job of imaging, so I feel I never have to choose based on which I
think will make the sharpest picture. Speed and weight are the factors I
most often consider when trying to decide what lenses to take.
