The choice of bodies would depend on whether you want one for monochrome,
one for colour or anything like that, but definitely the all-mechanical OM-1
for backup at the least would be a good idea.
Lens-wise, I'd probably take the 24, a 50 (one of the macros would save you
carrying the extension tubes) and the 135/2.8. With the teleconverter as
well, this would have most situations covered, I think.
And about the film - I'd really recommend trying at least one roll of slide
film. With slow film (Fuji Sensia 100 works great for me) and a polariser,
mountains and the like are rendered with a sharpness and clarity that print
film just can't match. That's my feeling, anyway.
Hope that helps,
Roger
