I have EP3 and GX1 with 12/2.0, 45/1.8, 25/1.4, 14-42, 14-150 and 9-18.
I am thinking of getting OM5 with kit lens as my main camera. What other lenses should I talking. Photos mainly for landscape and buildings. Or should I just take these two cameras? Thanks
I would recommend leaving most of your gear at home.

Geezzzzz, you only live once. I was in Rome, Florence and Naples and never had a problem and I was lugging around a D800 and an OMD. I say take your best gear and be smart about where you go and you won't have a problem.
how you, or anybody who is travelling with you can possibly enjoy or participate in a vacation if you are carrying all that stuff around.
Do you really need all that stuff?

The compulsion to take your best equipment to capture amazing shots on a special vacation is hard to resist. My last trip to Italy - in August 2010 - was awful. I took my 5DII and lots of glass. I was calling it the "Death march through Tuscony," but I got some really great shots.
that in good light, your 5DII doesn't make any better 8 x 10's than a competent pro-sumer point n shoot.
Sorry to break it to you, but the better cameras only make a difference in marginal conditions, DOF control, etc.
If you are not shooting those kinds of shots, carrying all that stuff is just stupid.
HOWEVER, to get similar quality with 1/3 the weight with the OMD or GH3, I say bring the good stuff and get the great shots. I travelled for 3 weeks in the Middle East with a G5 and 3 lenses in a small case. It was a piece of cake... YMMV, of course.
Leica photographers shot it all with just one body and two or three lenses-usually just two.

The SLR mentality is a dibilitating illness. I think it is very difficult for some people to break away from it.
