As the title says, my wife and I are going to Rome in September.

I'm back and forth between picking up the 35-100 F2.8 Pany or for the same amount of money; a second body like the Oly E-PL6 (same battery as my E-M10), with a 20mm F1.7 Pany, and a 45mm F2.8 Oly.

Now, I'm buying this gear used for the most part to keep the costs down. I would use the 35-100 to compliment my current setup. I would use a second camera as a super lightweight choice for my wife. This way we could both take shots of Rome. Your thoughts?

Current gear:

OMD E-M10

12-40mm 2.8 PRO Oly

25mm F1.4 Pany

Sirus Tripod ~13inches

Billingham Pro bag

Batteries (3)

Memory cards (3)

I would NOT visit Rome without an UWA. If I where you, I'd go for the Olympus 9-18mm lens. If you have cash to spare, add in an EPL6.

I think Rome is too compact to really get the best out of the 35-100mm.
