Hi Bill
Thanks for your note. Its now obvious that the first thing I would give up
is the light weight and small handy size of the zuiko. Can you tell me what
is the lenght of the lens barrel of the Kiron and its weight? Will it fit in
if mounted on the OM 1n in the OM 1.4n semi hard case?
How is its sharpness/resolution at F2?
Thanks
titoy
