On my Alaska cruise . . .

I wanted longer than I had, which at the time was the 40-150 4/3 version.  I also had a 14-54.  This was back in 2006 with an E-1.  I also had a Sigma 600mm f8 mirror/reflex lens.  For my style of shooting on the cruise, I found I was at the long end of the 40-150 quite a lot.  And I used the 600mm lens as well.  My recommendation is that you have something that reaches 300mm at a minimum.
