Best travel lens for the olympus om d e m1?

For the E-M1, I'd start with the Olympus M.Zuiko 12-45mm f/4 PRO. It covers 24-90mm in full-frame terms, which handles most travel scenes, and it's a pro-line lens that suits the E-M1's build.

If you'd rather change lenses less, the Olympus M.Zuiko 12-100mm f/4 IS PRO goes from wide to 200mm equivalent, and its stabilisation helps in dim churches and markets. It's a bigger lens, so weigh it against your bag before you commit.

For evenings and food, add a small fast prime. The Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f/1.8 (50mm equivalent) is the one I'd pack. See what to pack for the rest of the kit, and what matters for how to weigh size against range.
