And the 19mm is pretty good too. And the pair for $199 is
outstanding... assuming you want some primes of this focal length. I'm
not sure I do either. I'll first see how I get along with shooting an
adapted OM Zuiko 24/2.8 and 50/1.4... the only OM primes I have with me
at the moment. Of course, they may well defeat the notion of a small,
light camera but I have gotten lazy. Maybe I don't want to shoot primes
any more at all. :-)
