Ouch! Thats' one of the reasons I got interested in Oly: light bodies and
lenses to save my surgically repaired back. Guess I'll have to be especially
careful in choosing just those lenses that suit my needs. Thankfully, I've
never been a long tele kind of guy--not yet, at least. I'm thinking something
like 24, 28 or 35, 50, 85 or 100, 200, with at least one macro in there
somewhere. Maybe the Tamron 90. And a 1.4 tele extender. And a flash. And
two bodies. Gosh, it adds up doesn't it? Guess I'll have to get out of the
habit of taking along everything I own.
