Re: Two bodies or an extra lens for my upcoming trip to Rome?

Hi

I would (and do) have a little panasonic GM1 as my second travel body to my EM-1. It takes up hardly any room and works so well with the olympus lenses (mine normally has the 17mm or 45mm 1.8 permanently attached to it, I have the Panasonic 25mm and that works well too)

I admit that it would need different batteries and a charger but these are luggage items less day to day items to carry.

This camera has now been superseded so you could likely get a SH one quite reasonably. If you would like to see what its capable of heres a link to a flckr page (you can see in the EXIF which lens was used for which picture. In good light the kits lens isn't so bad either

Enjoy Rome

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)
