Great shots. I agree about the OM-3Ti being a great street photography
camera. I don't have one, but I have two OM-4T bodies, and my girlfriend has
one of them too. We've done lot of great street photography with them. I
think they're very fast to operate, focus, set exposure, etc. compared to
most SLRs and to me they're as good as a Leica at 1/4 the price.
I'm curious though...why the 50 macro? I haven't used the 3.5 macro, but I
have the 50/2 macro and I have tried it for street, and didn't like it. Too
hard to focus. I usually use my 40/2 for street, but I have done a lot with
my 35/2 or my 50/1.4 as well.
Here's some of my favorite OM-4T street shots:
