Ray and the List,
There is a similar discussions going on at www.omfan.com - a Japanese
OM user's forum.
They are wondering why 50mm/f3.5 macro is more popular than the
f2.0 version and what are their usages for (portraits, natures or what else) ?
They are also show interests on equal popularity between OM-2S and
the OM-1N. But number of total OM-1's (MD and 1N) outnumber
the 2S.
I hope you do not mind that I posted below tally to the Japanese
OM user's forum.
