p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · China trip - what lenses?


Hi folks.... Off to China and loading the bag. I have an assortment to choose from and wondered what you people think. I'll bring my EM1.2 and PEN -F bodies.

For lenses:
40-150 (I have the f2.8 pro and the cheap and light one. Taking the pro)
75 - I love it but the 40-150 pro has it pretty well covered
lensbaby sol22 and velvet 56. 56 is big and heavy. Sol is small. Probably take the little Sol22 for the blurry stuff
300mm. He's staying home
Laowa 7.5mm. Tiny. he should go
Oly 12/f2. Love it and it's tiny, but I'll probably want the 12-40 more often.
12-40 see above
30mm why bother
iPhone XS
Oly 17/1.8 I think he can go and stay on the PEN F
old glass and adapters - I have several old Pentax, Oly, Leica. I can't see using them much because I'll be moving around with the family and not really on a photo safari.

Mostly doing tourist stuff - the Wall, Forbidden City, HK. But we also have a couple mountain national parks and a 5 hour river tour. Probably trying to squeeze too much in but the trip has been planned by our international student's family and we are 'going with the flow' mostly, although we were in on what we'd like to see.

Any other suggestions? Too late to buy anything new! Leaving tomorrow.

I've done this basic trip a few times during gaps in business travel and settled on the Pen-F and 17 f/1.8 combo 95% of the time. I would probably bring along the 75 for the mountains but otherwise try to just stick with the Pen-F + 17 1.8.

EDIT: Missed that you have the Laowa 7.5. Yeah, that would be worth taking too.

I travel alot with the 40-150 +1.4x 12-40 and love the 9-18 for a wide. So very small. if you need something fast the 17 1.8 but I get by with the top 3 working 98 percent of the time. I often take a macro and the 40-150 focuses close enough it seldom get used.
