[OM] Re: 4/3 portrait lens focal length

[Mike]

For me a 135mm in 35mm format is too long for a portrait lens. It's
great for a street shooter but foreshortening gives too much of a
cardboard cutout look to a formal portrait. IMHO 100mm is OK if you need
the distance,  80mm is perfect perspective wise. So dig out that 40mm
pancake or use a zoom that covers the 35~50 range in 4/3.
