Hi All,
I'm new to this list, and for that matter, to the wonderful world of Olympus
stuff. After dropping one of my favourite EOS lenses in a creek, I decided
to buy an OM-1 and a couple of lenses for hiking. Now I'm hooked. While my
initial purpose was to just a have a simple two/three lens set up, I've
slowly but surely begun to accumulate "a system." That's why I need your
expertise.
I love wide angles and was looking at picking up a 24/2, 28/2, or 35/2-- and
possibly a 21. And I was hoping, I might get some advice from those of you
using these lenses. Are there any of these fast wides (SC/MC) that I should
steer clear of? I've seen Gary Reese's test page--a real treat--but noticed
that there was no listing for the 28/2; so what's the skinny on this lens.
I was hoping to trade my 24/2.8 (SC) for a 24/2 that I spotted the other day
(not sure if it is MC or not so I'll have to go back and check) but I've
noticed that it's been getting some bad press in the shooting meteor
discussion. Is it just that this lens is a bit soft wide open?
Anything you can tell me would be appreciated. Thanks,
Glen Lowry
Ps. If anyone's looking to unload any of these lenses, I might well be
interested.
