It all depends on what you shoot, but a zoom is more convenient for cropping
of scene, the 35mm frame is too small to do cropping after shooting. You may
spend on a cheaper zoom, I like the 75-150 very much but I know some of you
don't like it.

I just mentioned the lenses, of course you will need an OM-1 plus a 2 or 4,
then a flash - T20 or T32 depends on whether you use flash a lot or not. A
lots of other accessories are just option, I never use the grip 1 and eyecup
but a MD-1 is a must for action shoots or parties (I don't like the sound of
winder).
