Gary,
I think the Spiratone name kills the lust for a 20mm. The first time I
saw
this lens I was impressed with the construction, and was able to shoot it a
few times before I made a decision to grab it. It is sharp, and it is
engineered in the Olympus tradition of small and solid. These days I am
using a 20mm Canon on my T90 with the 300TL flash which is most like an
OM-4/T32 with upgrades and mondo enhancements. TTL SPOT FLASH METERING with
flash and background exposure compensation anyone? Anyway, this is a great
20mm.
Regards,
Bryant
