Hey guys,
I just signed up for the list today... new to the Olympus OM line but from
seeing some photos taken with the Zuiko line of lenses and seeing the prices
of these lenses I feel that they are the right thing for me. Photography is
just a hobby of mine so I don't nessicarly need something that's going to
stand up to a lot abuse like a pro would demand but I don't want it to fall
apart either. I want a camera with a spot meter in it... so I guess that
leaves the -2s, -3Ti and 4T(i). I'm a student so price is a major concern.
and as far as lenses I'm thinking about getting a 50/1.4 or a 50/1.2 I
found a 1.4 for $109 on keh in excellent condition but what's the going
price of a 1.2? on b&h new it's $479 and I gather it's not worth this price
difference.. anyone? The main thing for me right now is to be able to use
the OM lenses, so I even considered the OM-2000 body... and then later
purchase an OM-4Ti would this be a mistake? If I did that I could afford
much better lens (say a new 50/1.2) I know all the 1.2s are multicoated and
not all the 1.4s are ... the MC is important, yes? MC aside does the 1.2
make noticablly more asthetically pleasing photos? Sorry for the long post
but I'm confused on features/price and new/used If anyone can help me I'd
appreciate it.
Thanks,
David Williams
