Louis,
Welcome to the list
For what it's worth... Wouldn't worry too much about the 50/1.4 serial
number if I were you. I have 2 of these, one above & one below 1,100,000,
can't say I've ever noticed any significant difference between them. For the
portrait lens go for the 100/f2 if possible (I sold all 3 of the others you
mention after buying the 100/f2 - very nearly paid for it).
By an amazing coincidence I happen to have a very nice 28mm/f2.8 on the bay
at the moment (180062585322) - free postage if anyone from the list buys
it... :-)
Regards - Martyn

Subject: [OM] Newby Intro + Zuiko prime lens question
Hi All,
I thought it is time I should cease lurking and let myself be known. I
cut my photography teeth with an OM-1n in the late 70s - early 80s.
After many years using c***n gear, I have now seen the error of my ways
and recently bought an OM-4 in near mint condition. I am head over
heals about this body and can't wait to start shooting.
It came with a 50/f1.4 with a six digit s/n. Unfortunately I learnt too
late that I should have sought a post 1,100,000 s/n 50/f1.4 lens.
How much of a set back can this be?
I have decided with this kit to stick to using 3 or 4 primes to maximize
my picture taking enjoyment, and hopefully image sharpness/quality.
Anyway, As I am still basically an amateur I was hoping some one could
advise me on what primes to aim for. Aside from the 50mm I already
have, I am after a 28mm and a portrait lens - say 85/f2, 100/f2 or f2.8,
or perhaps a 135 f2.8.
Any help appreciated.
