Hi Jim,
I have the following lenses for my E-1 which influences the selection of OM
lenses I use:
14-54mm f2.8-3.5, 11-22mm f2.8-3.5, 18-180mm, 50mm f2 macro.
My most used OM lenses are:
135mm f4.5 (with 65-116mm auto tube). This is a killer lens on the E-1.
180mm f2.8. Good reach on an E body good for graduation pics.
85mm f2.0. I shot my Nature tope with the E-1 using this lens.
I used to use the 50mm f2 OM Zuiko but since getting the DZ 50mm the auto
aperture advantage won me over. Like AG I will echo the difference of image
personality from the OM lenses over the DZ zooms being a big draw to using
selected lenses on the E system. It is useful to have the option of using my
OM lenses for tasks that the DZ's I have don't cover.
