Have you also an OM-2n with two OTF sensors. If so, have they less problems
with this phenomen? I ask because of my thesis in the subject "Which OM"
recently. When I used Kodachrome with my OM-2n years ago, I cannot remember
this problem, but I remember a green to cyan flavour in shadows.

What do you think about the Tokina. I recently bought one for 160 DM (95 US
Dollar) and I think, you can use the aperture of 1:2,8 succesfully, but not
at close distances. Do you know the number of elements/groups of this lens
and the original new price?
