Well, finally! I get to meet up with another Olylist member on one of my
many journeys. Last night (Monday evening) I met Craig Henrikson here in
Albany, NY. We compared cameras, lenses, etc., and I managed to force him
into sitting through a viewing of my brag-book. (portfolio).
After discovering that our eyes definitely require different correction, we
checked out each other's lenses on our own cameras. Strange--not everyone
likes my -2 corrective lenses. I think we have another 2-series screen
sold though. I should take up wholesaling the things. <g>
Craig has a couple cool lenses that I hadn't seen before. The 85/2 is
really a nice lens with supurb Bokah, but definetely is heavier than my
100/2.8. His Vivitar 90? (or is it 100mm)/2.8 macro lens is pretty wild.
I haven't seen many lenses of that focal length that go all the way to 1:1.
Of course, it becomes about a cubit long. His camera selection looked
pretty nice and was relatively scratch/ding free. My OM-2S looks pretty
rough compared to his OM-4. I have a hard time getting two camera bodies
in my bag, but he had three in a smaller bag.
We didn't get a chance to go out and shoot. It was too dark, cold and
windy. Only an insane person would venture outdoors on a night like that.
Ok, ok, had I brought my tripod....
