Ok, I am slagging WAAY behind the list - work is starting to eat into the
list-reading time ;(
Anyways, I own an 85/2, and I can truely say that it is an amazing
lens. It's normally paired up with a 24/2, and they go together on two
cameras (usually an om2s/p and an om2n) wherever I go. Make for the most
versatile combo I know of.
Test-results asside, the 85/2 gives images I desire. So in my mind it
would be a good buy.
However for concert-photos....I dunno what kind of concerts you go to, but
if you want pictures of the stage, and you cannot be just up front, you're
probably better off with a longer focal length.
