: I'd be very interested in the opinions of this group on what a 'complete
: setup' of lenses would be. I realize everyone's situation is quite
: different, but I'd like to be prepared for almost anything. I mostly shoot
: kids sports, so that is a defining need for me. For example, the 75-150
: length seems nice, but I'm getting confused on the different versions. I've
: read everything I can find online, but am still confused.
Maybe the Zuiko 65-200mm/F4 would be a better choice for sport photography:
one-touch design and a more versatile zoom range. For indoor sport you'ld need a
very fast film with an F4 lens, like Fuji Press 800 rated at 1600. Yes a F2.8
tele
zoom like Joseph recommended would also be interesting. But weight might become
an
issue: the 75-150 weighs only 455g., the 65-200 weighs 730g and an 80-200/2.8 or
70-210/2.8 lens weighs more than 1000g (the Tokina is probaby the lightest with
1090g).
For a fairly 'complete' user set I would recommend adding a standard lens (1.8,
1.4 or 1.2), and in the wide angle area either a 24mm lens or a combination of a
28mm lens and a 21mm lens. An alternative would be a true wide angle zoom. Since
Olympus only has the 28-48mm/F4, a third party lens like the Sigma
21-35mm/F3.5-4.2 could be more interesting: with just two bodies and two lenses
you'ld get an almost complete coverage of the 21~200mm range.
