After selling all my Canon stuff (started with AE1...up to EOS) this will the first Holiday using the OM-D. Like it a lot and have got the following lenses: Panasonic 20mm f1.7, Olympus 75mm f1.8 and wanted to get the Panasonic 12-25mm. But I just picked up the Olympus 14-150mm at B+H on a business trip to NY I am quite impressed with that lens and the zoom range. Also bought the Thingtank Retrospektive 5.
Now I am not quite sure if I should take the 75mm on the trip to Guatemala and Belize or leave it at home. We (my better half + 3 kids) will so the “usual” tourist hotspot like Antigua and Tikal but also plan to stay in Jungle lodges and do some trekking or canoeing.
What does everyone think – taking all the 3 lenses or only the 20mm and the 14-150mm? Thanks for suggestions!
For a trip like this, take the zoom and the 20mm and leave the 75mm at home. You will probably want a long lens for when you are out in scenic areas, and a wide lens for night and in town, and the zoom and 20mm will have you covered for all of that very nicely. The 75mm is kind of a specialty lens that I don't see as being all that useful in tourist mode....
YMMV, of course...

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
