Take it. What if the 100-400 fails? You are going a long way from a camera shop and spending a lot of money to get there. I am getting all of this in a Think Tank Urban and it weighs about 20 lbs.:

  • Two E-M1 ii bodies
  • 12-100 mm mounted
  • 100-400 mm mounted
  • 12-40 mm
  • 40-140 with TC-14
  • 25 mm

That said I am going to some urban areas too, so want my 12-100.  If the 100-400 acts up I have the 40-150 w 1.4.  The 12-40 is small and light and backs up the 12-100.  It is also faster.  I don't take all this out in the field, but leave it at the camp during the excursions. I can decide which pair to take at the start of the day.
