Hang on Tris!
Are you saying that I don't need 3 bodies as well (because I haven't
taken a photo today)? Please don't tell my wife. Actually, now I
come to think of it, she doesn't know that I have 3 camera bodies ;-).
Actually, I *am* thinking of getting a H*sselbl*d Xpan... this is so
I can take panoramic views of the wonderful places that I would like
to visit... and sell them of course to fuel the habit.
For my money, the OM4 and 40/2 work well together as a single combo.

One camera, one lens, eh?
The body for me's a nobrainer. The 4T or 4Ti. That's partly for the
reason they're the only ones I own, but also for the reason the 4T's
the best (all around) out there with Olympus in mind. Of course I've
never tried the 3Ti . . . .
Lenses are a different matter altogether. I'd guess, if I had to
chose just one, it'd be either the 35-70 f3.6 or 100mm f2, the
former because it's versatile, the latter because it's sweet. That
zoom, by the way, gets a lot of use from me. Having said as much, I
walked around downtown yesterday after hitting the bank, with just
one body, and it had a 50mm f1.2 on its front. But you know, I had
to force myself to leave home with that lens instead of something
else, and I only did because it's been so long since I gave it air.
I hardly ever do these days, though there was a time, when all I had
were three lenses, that my modest little 50/1.8 enjoyed the lion's
share of my attention, and we were best friends.

At least I've limited my photographic interest and lust for gear to
the 35mm format. Lord knows where I'd be if I'd ever allowed myself
to succumb to the siren call of . . . Hasselblad. <g>
