I’m at the point in my life where I am not carrying / hiking with a second setup. That’s the crazy habit that caused my grief in the first place.
But I will keep another piece of gear in the back seat and swap out when needed. I’m beginning to wonder if the long lens should be the backup plan.
OM-1 (1), OM 12-100 f4 pro.

Well Ted, I think I understand what you’re getting at. My first instinct was to say, wouldn’t the 12–200mm make more sense for the extra reach? But then I figured that lens is probably already spoken for and you’d never see it again once it leaves the house. So yes, the 12–100mm is a solid choice. 🙂
And I have yet to try the little pancake lens, 14-42 ez. My wife’s new OM 100-400 just went out to OM service. Focus became very bad 😳. So now I’m back to the PL 100-400. The stiff focus would not be good for my wife. Bad timing too since we are going to Florida rookeries in 2 weeks. At least I still had the PL, which gave me great shots for over a year. We have multiple choices in this house, and some Canon gear too.
I really like these and the filtre choice works well!
😁, thanks. Finding I like shooting these scenes again 😁😁
Ted, there is lens rentals dot com where you can reasonably rent lenses (and they carry Olympus), even the newer 50-200 if you wanted to see what all the hoopla is about. I rented camera bodies from there before upgrading to the Mii from my older OMD-E bodies. Wanted to be certain if the newer bodies would be worth the change. They use FedX for delivery and return. Something to think about and you won’t miss shots, and, it’s not unreasonable.
And probably, a backpack instead of the backseat isn’t a consideration. 🥸😏😊
I’m fighting new gear. Having three 100-400 is early onset GAS. 😵💫. Thanks. A friend who shoots landscapes only used them for a Nikon 100-400 when we went to photo the wild horses. He liked them too. Thanks 😁
Hire an 18-year old to sherpa the big stuff for you.
😁
Heck, for a free seat on the plane, I would sherpa the gear for you. Oh, wait, I’m not 18 any more… 🙂
😆😆😆, me neither. That’s why days like today I carried a spare battery.
