Zuiko lenses are like stone soup, the only really necessary one is the
50/1.8, but then you find that the 85/2 is wonderful so that goes in the
bag, then.... Pretty soon you've got a few and not too long after that
you're having discussions about bokeh. If we must make a top ten list why
not the best bokeh on a budget list? I.E. the starter list. Something
like, and I've cut out a few possibles because when I thought of it as a
budget list I decided 10 was way to big for a budget:
50/1.8 ($10-40) - all around everything lens
85/2 ($175-180) - portraiture
35/2.8 ($70-95) - architecture, landscapes, new ways of looking
50/3.5 macro ($150-175) - new ways of looking
75-150/4 ($90-150) - cropping in the lens
500/8 Reflex ($430-570)* - for getting close to that antelope
*my sample of this was much cheaper which is why the 500 is on my list (of
course it probably wouldn't make the all bokeh list ;-), prices from Paul
