Best travel lens for the om system pen?
For travel on the PEN, I'd start with one zoom that covers most of the day, then add a small prime for evenings. Both pick up the travel brief: one lens that handles most pictures, plus a fast lens for dim restaurants.
- Olympus M.Zuiko 12-45mm f/4 PRO: about 24-90mm full-frame equivalent. My pick for a small, do-it-all zoom.
- Panasonic Leica DG 12-60mm f/2.8-4: about 24-120mm equivalent, if you want more reach and don't mind a bit more bulk.
- Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f/1.8: a 50mm-equivalent prime for food, evenings and portraits.
Pack one zoom and that prime, and leave the rest at home. The travel packing list explains the rest.
