I bought the 12 to 40 ml lens when I bought my EM1 Mk 1 and later added the 40 -150 and the fisheye 8ml. Fabulous lenses and I hardly ever have to change from the 12 – 40, it is such a versatile lens and as you say, rarely need a tripod. Really good for traveling, it all fits into a small bag which can fit into my main backpack when it’s time to walk to the hotel or hostel. Thanks for your great articles, I’m going to try out the reflections idea today.

Great list – thank you! I’m still travelling with the 14-150 kit lens on my Olympus – it’s a fab focal range, but only f4. Time to upgrade I think…

In reply to Sara. Hi Sara, sure thing! I always carry my gear on board however pack my underwater housing and any chargers, accessories (not batteries) inside my main luggage. I just upgraded to the Lowepro Flipside 400 AW II which fits my 13" laptop and all lenses + 2 x OM-D E-M1 MKII's. It looks smallish so I haven't yet been hassled by airport staff about how much it weighs yet. Although, even with my drone inside, all camera gear + laptop, it's only about 10kg. It's got great straps and support for hiking too :)

Lisa, can you share what bag you travel with to transport lenses?? Do you always carry on (guessing so). I travel with a lot of lenses, and I think there’s probably a better way to travel with them. Would love your insight for long haul travel!
