Oh, Patrick, what influx of opinions you are about to infuse on the list
about this subject--again. Without belaboring (or is it blaboring) the
subject too much...
My 35-70/2.8 has replaced a 35/2.8 and 50/1.4. Mine is extremely sharp (at
16x20 the resolution exceeded the film grain), and the flat-fieldness is
decent for macro work. With a de-elemented tele-converter (stay tuned for
the conclusion to the saga--which is waiting for the results from the lab),
I can get down below 1:1.
Standard kit right now is 24/2.8, 35-70/2.8, 100/2.8, 200/2.8. Oh, sorry,
but my zoom is not a Zuiko.
