John,
I just returned from seven weeks in Europe. OM-1n with 50mm/f1.4 for color
(Fuji Reala) and M-3 with collapsible 50mm Summicron for B&W (Tri-X). Took a
Weston II for the Leica and a Zuiko 135mm for the OM as well as a flash. Used
the 135mm for about 10 shots out of about 25 rolls of color. Never used the
flash. Two cameras with 50mm lenses can get heavy. I didn't use a bag because
I wanted to keep the weight down. Used slacks with many pockets (zippered are
best) and a lightweight vest, again with zippered pockets. Go LIGHT!
Only regret (I'll deny ever saying this) was not having the E-330 for two
reasons 1) low light photography, especially inside cathedrals and 2) those
damn X-ray machines that more and more venues are using.
Have a good trip.
Gary
