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?

Yes...

What are your thoughts?

I would bring the 40-150 but if you want to leave it behind to make your trip easier than go ahead. In truth for my next potential safari I'm looking at slimming my gear down to two bodies and three lenses. The G9 + 100-400 will cover 80-95% of your safari encounters.

Thanks CSean. Your slimming down version is the most I would take and have!!!
