And outside my own comfort zone too. This is why the 135/3.5 was the
first lens I bought. On the OM1 it is so small and inconspicuous. It is
easier to get rid of busy backgrounds if necessary. I find many street
shots have undesirable elements best left out. The downside is a
cardboard cut out look just becoming noticeable at 135mm.
> wide to normal lens, close to the subjects and cautions be damned.
Yeah, I bet you get a lot of reactions like this:

The image is a put off because of the subject reaction to the
photographer. He obviously didn't give a sh*t.
I wonder how many shots he gets of a blurry fist about 12" from the
lens? Or how many times he has to have the camera surgically removed?
