Well said. I've been using my 50 1.8 alot this spring; it's now one of
my favorites. 35mm photography has given us such a huge palette of
lenses, that as I look back through my slides I see just how much time
can be wasted on "effects". With a 50, you can shed all the anxiety of
a bagfull of lenses and concentrate on seeing. I get a very high
proportion of "keepers" this way.
I don't understand why the normal focal length is so derided in the
small format, but is so often tool of choice in larger ones. All lenses
have their place. . . . I don't think there is any such thing as a "bad"
focal length.
For those who don't own a Zuiko 50, do yourself a favor and see what an
investment of 15 bucks can do for your photography.
