RE: [OM] 200/2
HelloMax,
I have the 85/2 and love it.  The perspective is just right for me.  I don't
have a 100/2, and I'm sure it's a great lens, but I do have a very nice
100/2.8 which I've hardly used since I got the 85/2.

BTW, you mentioned wanting an OM-4.  I have a nice one I will part with.  If
you're intersted, please contact me off-list.
Regards,
John Pendley

By the way, I listen opinions about which is the best lens for portraits ??
I hear that the 85 mm was the better size ???
Any consideration ?
Have FUN !!!
MAX - eager for the OM4....
