Hello everyone.
First time posting to this list, but boy am I ever happy that I found
it!
I've read some of the archives and caught up on some interesting
discussions. First, briefly about my OM experience and then a couple of
questions. Been an OM-1 owner since 1975 (that makes me a newbie,
right?) Right now have three OM-1 bodies, one winder, 24, 50, 100, 135
Zuiko lenses, a 300 Vivitar (old and not very sharp anymore, I'm afraid)
and a Vivitar 75-205 f3.5-4.5 macro zoom that I picked up used in
excellent shape for about $100 (U.S.)
First, anybody got opinions on the Viv zoom (i.e. sharpness, etc)? I
like it but haven't yet used it for any critical work, mostly just fun
pics of my kids.
Second question. I would like suggestions please on OM lenses for nature
and wildlife photography. I'm about to buy a bellows for closeup work of
flowers and would like hints on which lens(es) would work best. Also I'd
like some opinions on really long lenses for bird photos. I've never
used really long Zuikos (anything 300mm or over) and would like to know
if they are worth the cost. Any ideas on non-Zuiko long lenses?
Escuse the length of this one, I had a lot of quesitions backed up
before I found this list!
