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)

For about six month's, my primes were parked on the shelf and my main kit was my E-M10, 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro, 35-100mm f/2.8, two 32GB SDHC cards, and three spare BLS-5 batteries.; all living in an ONA Bowery bag along with the battery charger and cable. If you like zooms, this is an excellent kit and you can leave the 25mm f1.4 home; you won't need it. I also found that the 12-40mm was on the E-M10 95% of the time but, each person works differently.
