Spot metering was the reason too, why I´m now a Zuikoholic and

Very handy feature, DOF preview with every camera body, cause every lens
has it. :-)

Later then, I discovered one feature I don´t like to miss, is the

The 100mm Zuikos are very sharp lenses. I had both, the 2,8 is very
small, the 2,0 (expensiv) should be sharper but I didn´t recognized it.
