Question #1:
For me, the lens I use the most is my Vivitar Series 1 28-90. Strictly
coincidence, but so does my father-in-law on his Nikon N70. I like the 2.8
aperture and the variability of focal lengths. I need something like this
to get photos of my 90 year-old father. It's hard to get close to him, in
many ways... I don't own any OM zooms.
For longer tele's, I really like the Tamron 350 5.6 mirror, just can't get
too many highlights in the picture. Other than that, I love the Novoflex
400 for serious nature. It sure is fast to handle! Just looks like a gun,
but people are always really nice around me! <GG>

Over the past few days, many on the list have expressed a love for the 100mm
or the 85mm lenses for portraiture, and for the sake of discussion, lets
ignore the speed of the lense for the moment. Both of these are most often
mounted on my body also. But I wonder what other Zuiks prefer to shoot
with. Let's also try to avoid how the subject matter dictates which lense
to use. Though that maybe difficult. I'm really more interested in what
you LOVE to shoot with.
I find that, more often then not, I switch between my 100mm and my 35-70mm
lenses. I'm asking this question because of two recent purchases I made
(300/4.5 and 180/2.8) and whether either of these will see much action out
of my bag? I had previously owned the 100-200mm F5 which I truly disliked.
It was slow, dark and difficult to focus. So maybe as a second question,
how often do list members use their super teles?
