Hi,
I plan to take pictures of my niece's baptism in a few weeks and am
using that as an excuse to get another Zuiko. I currently have a
28/2.8 and a 50/1.8, but am considering a zoom lens (maybe a
35-105/3.5-4.5) because I have no idea how close or how far I will be
from the "action". I'd obviously like to be able to get some practical
use out of the lens after the baptism, and since I don't currently have
a telephoto lens, I figured a zoom lens was the best way to go (in
terms of having a good, everyday lens mounted to my OM-2 most of the
time). Still, I'm not sure how the lighting will be in this particular
situation, so I'm a little hesitant about the zoom lens because of some
of the previous posts I've read about the viewfinder being too dark for
focusing. I'm also considering a 35-70/3.5-4.5, although I fear that I
might not like the shorter zoom range. Still, it's cheaper and smaller
than the 35-105.
Can anyone offer some suggestions? I'm not completely opposed to just
getting another prime lens, but like I said, I'd prefer to take the
opportunity to get a good all-purpose lens, which might mean a zoom
lens of some sort.
