Re: [OM] IMG: St. John's Wort by Telyt

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Dawid,

Thanks for the kind words.  I have never used the250mm f/2, so I can't help 
with that debate.  Except for E-System lenses, I am much more experienced 
with Leica glass, and tend to use it when possible.  I understand that OM 
users feel that the the OM lenses are as good or better than those made by 
Leica.
