Hi John:
I guess that really defines me (or us) as I am much more in love with my
prime lenses and rarely use the zooms even though I own several. Prime lenses
between 5.6 and 9.5 with a good lens shade are the best prescription for
great images. Of course, one also needs an OM1 too.
Happy Holidays,
Roger Skully
