Thats a great price for a great camera. Have fun with
it. Personally I think huge lenses like the 250 f2 are
more for the pros than the common guy. I mean they
cost a lot for a couple stops faster. I am happy with
a 300/4.5. Now macros and superwides and shift lenses,
those are lenses that anyone can appreciate. If you
are looking for a big ticket lens to dream about, the
24 shift, 21/2, 18/3.5, or 90mm Macro are the
droolers. Of course if someone dropped a 250/2 in my
lap I wouldn't refuse. But I am sure it would be more
of a shelf Queen than a user for me. Then again it all
depends on what you shoot. I mainly use lenses less
than 100mm, (the lens near permanently stuck to the
front of my OM-4 is a 50mm/2 macro) but I have some
teles for emergencies and fun shots.
