H - Olympus 17mm f1.8 (why was this great lens overlooked?)
A - Panasonic 25mm f1.4 (incorrectly described by the OP as “24mm”)
D - Olympus 120mm f2.8 Macro
A - Panasonic 25mm f1.4 (incorrectly described by the OP as “24mm”)
D - Olympus 120mm f2.8 Macro

I don't own "H", which is why it wasn't listed.
The "A" lens I listed is a Panasonic Summilux 12mm f1.4 lens, which in 35mm equivalence is 24mm, not 25mm. Perhaps you misunderstood?
Thanks.

UPDATE:
So far, "lsimpkins" is winning the challenge. He has listed 3 of the 7 lenses listed in priority order.
Wonder if anybody will beat him by listing all 7 in order?
Other lenses not listed 'cause I don't own them. Weight/size not a factor.
Thanks!!

Was going by manufacturer’s designated name for the lenses. So I take it your “120mm” has a mfrs marketing name of 60mm? If not, I’m not the one who is confused. Cheers!

I don't fit your specifications and I wouldn't take any of those lenses. I'd take my 28-300 and my D800e.

Unfortunately the challenge was not "what would you take", but "of these listed, ...".

I don't know anything about your camera or it's lenses - But my wife & myself go on numerous overseas trip & I love to take photographs == So for me it's all about angle of view I have a full frame camera ---
Lenses I take are 4 in number 1)24mm 1.4; 2)35mm 1.4; 3)85mm 1.8 (If I had a 1.4 version I'd sure take that) & 4) 100-400mm with EF 1.4 II -- I also take a light tripod for night shots
If your actually going -- Have fun & take & post lots of shots
PS: Not a big fan of silly "what would take games"

Here is what I originally posted. Perhaps you missed it.
"7. THE CHALLENGE:
RANK ALL lenses, In priority order by letter, your choice of lenses to take on your next Mediterranean cruise.
You must choose ONLY from the list, using only the letters, without further comment.
Focal lengths are ALL listed in 35mm equivalent format in order to eliminate confusion. (2x crop factor, etc.)"
So, yes, the Oly is a 60mm f2.8 Macro, according to the M43 (Micro Four Thirds) format of expressing focal length. Since most UHH'ers are Nikon or Canon folks, I wanted to express the focal lengths in the 35mm format to make it easier to understand. Sorry you were confused.
