I am new to photography, and the list. So far I have a OM-1 that was
bought back in the 1970's for my daughter who was taking a photography
class in high school at the time. My grandson and I found the camera in
the basement in an old milk crate and resurrected it. I took some very
good pictures with it on my vacation this year, and have acquired an
interest in photography. So much so that I just bought an OM2S Program
from eBay!
I have four lenses. Two 50mm 1.8 Zuiko, a Kitstar f135mm 1:2.8 and a
Vivitor 28mm 1:2.8. I have seen posts on the list (and adds on eBay)
that talk about fast and slow lenses. Could someone explain to me what
a fast lens means? What slow lens is?
I thought that the second number just meant the widest aperture that the
lens could achieve. What does that have with speed?
Thanks
