Hello. I will be going on a safari in Tanzania. I was planning to take the PL 100-400 mounted on the Lumix G9, the Olympus 40-150 Pro mounted on the Olympus EM10 mk2 and the Olympus 12-40 Pro in my bag, or mounted on the EM10, with the 40-150 in the bag.

For space and weight reasons, I am wondering if I could afford to leave the Oly 40-150 Pro behind?

What are your thoughts?

Leave it at home, I can't think of a situation where you'd pick the 40-150. If you need a brighter telephoto, pack the 75mm f/1.8.

I'd also keep the E-M10 at home too. The G9 w/ 12-40, 75, and 100-400 would be an awesome and very capable travel kit for shooting critters in the bush
