Welcome. I just joined this list a couple weeks about after digging out my
cases of OM stuff to sell it on eBay. Now I have sold some, but this damn
list has been such a source of information and inspiration, that I may now
sell my Contax G2 because I won't need it with my rekindled love for
Olympus.
I am a zuikoholic.
I got my first OM1 in 1977 and still have it.

PS I've got a few things for sale....what ya need?

Good evening everyone-
I subscribed to the list to get more information about my 24 year
crush-the OM series.
My first 35mm was a 1979 OM-1, a high school graduation gift. Used it
with a Zuiko 50mm 1.8 for years. Battery on/off lever broke. (couldn't find
a repair place) Got Olympus Stylus Zoom 115. Got published using it. Got
OM-2, Sigma APO 70-210 3.5, Zuiko 50mm 1.4. Sunday, bought Zuiko 28mm 2.8.
(also a set of front-mount close up lenses)
I'm just getting back into real photography. I'm curious to read what
the list thinks are the best Zuiko lenses (lens-test wise) as well which
ones serve best. I've visited the websites, now I want opinions from the
true believers.
I'm probably selling the Sigma eventually and getting Olympus. I love
fast lenses but the weight is a bit annoying.
Also, are the 50mm 1.4s with serial # over 1,100,000 really better (that
is, no yellowing?)
Thanks in advance-
KathyD
