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?

To be honest ...I dont understand the weight reasons .

What did I have with me :

Ipad Pro  + iPhone 5 and all necesary equipt .

E-M1 I

E-M1 II

E-M5 I

300mm Pro , 40-150 Pro , 100-300mm  (backup), 12-40Pro , 17mm . 1.4 converter.

Two different chargers + load of Batt  , for Tanzania I had a guide so I did not need Garmin Gps .

Medium size Flash .

And no one complained about weight when checking in the aircraft .

Perhaps you can "abuse" your partner ..... extra storage in her pretty storage tank 

Just take the 40-150 Pro ..... you will regret it if you leave it at home.....

I have been many times on Safari ( I dont want to make you jalous )  ... next ...I am addicted 

Forget the bean bag and use the  touristclass blanket instead.

And if you can go instead of Arusha Np   to Taranguire  and then to Lake Manyara NP 

Enjoy ....fully !
