I can - with a Pentax body and the 600mm FA (along with a suitable tripod
and a gimballed head) - you don't wander very far and you generally have a
specific destination!

the time rather than the Olympus zoom. They're heavy but much easier on the
back. The big Olympus zoom gets a little unwieldy for casual walking about …

That's the E-M1 with HLD-7 grip, plus (in order) the MMF-3 adapter, the
EC-14 teleconverter, and the ZD 50-200 zoom with hood—set to max zoom for a
total 283mm f/4.9 (566mm EFOV). I can only imagine what it is to wander
about with the Olympus ZD 90-250mm f/2.8 or ZD 300mm f/2.8 …!
