Heresy... but thought provoking. I'd say let's answer him and then burn him at the stake. Then we could just go get his stuff without the pleas for free equipment.

We all know the list favorites. You know, the 90mm macro, the 50mm F2
macro, the 350mm F2.8, etc. I was wondering:

1. Is there an Oly lens or accessory that you wonder why you bought
it because it is not that great?  That is, not that great.

2. Is there an Oly lens or accessory that is just fine, but you find
that you just don't use it. That is, just done use it much.

My nomination for #1 is the 2-13 focussing screen added to my OM4T.
After pretty extensive looking through it in dim light with various
lens, I'll be darned if I can tell much difference in the brightness
or ease of focus. It does look prettier than the ground glass in my
OM1N, that is, you do not see ground glass grain.

My nomination for #2 is the Varimagni finder, and the 135mm focal length lens.

Any thoughts?

Please control your addiction and the pleas for free equipment. :-)
