Bill,
You apparently have not been reading -- or if you have, certainly not heeding
-- my recent posts regarding the 300/4.5 and 400/6.3 Zuikos. Of course, wooded
and hilly terrain over which one may need to bound in search of wildlife there
in the largely barren flatlands surrounding Houston is probably not a concern.
I sincerely hope you will be happy with the E-1. I'm at least, and I do mean
"at least," 18 months to two years away from going digital, even in a
half-assed way, except for the little Olympus C-2000 Z. That's why I just
bought the Minolta 5400 scanner.
As for the stuff you're unloading, you're offering it at good prices, and I
couldn't possibly recommend the 135/4.5 Macro more highly to anybody who does
or intends to do any sort of serious macro work. It's my most-used macro lens,
probably 2 or 3X the 90/2.
