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?

I took both - the 100-400 on E-M1.2, and the 40-150/2.8 on E-M1.  With the MC14 in my bag, I had (partial) backup if the 100-400 failed.  The longer lens took 75% of my game drive keepers.   I also had the P12-35/2.8 in the bag, but only changed it in a couple of times over 9 days.  It got a lot of use in camp and in the cities.

I would take the same lens kit again.
