Hi.
Just a quick impression.
Was poking around in the used equipment cases at my local camera shop.
Looked at the Zuiko offerings. I'm an OM novice, and my exposure to Zuiko
lenses is quite limited. My budget keeps me in the f3.5 range; fast lenses
are out of my league. So, just for the heck of it, I asked to see the
28mm/f2.0. The front element was goreous; reflective and oh-so colorful. I
plugged it into the nearest OM body and held the viewfinder to my eye...
Whoosh! My breath disappeared!
Talk about gorgeous?! I'd never seen such a beautiful image snap into focus
on a groundglass. It was bright; it was sharp; it was vibrantly colorful!
It was all I could do to take the camera away from my eye!
But what happens now? How do I go back to my humble stable of f3.5 Zuikos?
Thankfully, I know the virtues of slower lenses, so I should be able to
maintain my relationships with my present lenses. But for those few
minutes, gazing onto that focus screen, I was in heaven.
It's interesting to think of super-speed motion picture camera lenses whose
speeds hover around f1.0. And that's "T" stops, not f stops!
