Hi Joel,
Ok, confession time :) I was losing too many moving shots with my
OM's (when doing wildlife), so I've gone to AF. I STILL have my OM,
though :) I got an A2 with a 80-200 f2.8L lens. My point here, I guess,
is that the aforementioned Viv series one is about HALF the size of the
Canon lens. So, you're right, size isn't really an issue. I STILL see my
OM system as a compact set-up, even WITH the Viv :) But your point about
the 75-150 being smaller is a good one. Now you have me pondering over
which lens to keep again ;)
Thanks for the reply :)
Brad
