Hans,
This is great feedback! I have a Tokina 35-105mm that is
newly acquired. I am finding it VERY difficult to focus when
you go past 50mm, I'm not even sure if I'm getting my shots in
focus ( still waiting on the developing). I use the OM-10 which, I think,
is one of the most difficult to focus. Any thoughts? My 80-200mm doesn't
seem to be this difficult to focus!
On the topic of films, I like your comment. Do you think 35mm quality
is closing the gap on medium format? What films are most comparable
in quality to Medium format? Do you think 35mm films will ever get so good
that medium format is not needed?
Thanks,
Kris

I use and own Olympus exclusively. The bodies I currently have are an
OM-2n, OM-3, OM-4 and OM-4Ti (my latest acquisition). Most of my lenses
(I own about 30) are Zuikos, but of course some off-brand lenses are
just too tempting to leave them in the shop, like the Tokina ATX
80-200/2,8, ATX 35-70/2.8, ATX 28-135/4-4.5 and Koboron 120-600/5.6-8.
Medium format? Who needs medium format when these new superiour films
like the improved Kodak Ektar 100 are available?
