[OM] Travel lenses, was: 21/3.5, 35/2, and Zuikoholism

[Chuck Norcutt]

When traveling, light weight and compact are excellent virtues.  When I 
was actively shooting with OMs my 3 lens selection would be a Zuiko 
24/2.8, Zuiko 35-70/3.5-4.5 and Kiron 70-150/4.  I might add a 50/1.8 or 
even a 50/1.4 if I was concerned about low light ability and then likely 
leave it at the hotel or in the car unless I had specific reason to 
believe it would be needed.

I've never owned a Zuiko 70/150 but the Kiron 70-150/4 is an excellent 
lens.  Lightweight with excellent performance.  I've owned two of them 
and neither demonstrated the sticky diaphragm problem common to many 
other Kiron lenses.  I've never tried either of the zooms on my 5D as 
they're too slow for good manual focusing but the 24/2.8 does do digital 
landscape duty from time to time.
