Do you shoot much architecture, Gries? I've piddled with it over the years
but it's never
come to much somehow--that might be do to a lack of line sense in my head.
A pity, as
the town I live in has loads of beautiful buildings, especially private
residences.
I'm gonna haunt parte vieja in Donosti this summer when I get over there
and see what I
can do with its quaint structures and cramped lanes.

I do think that the 135 is in my near future also, but I have found
myself working w/ the 85mm focal length more - it seems more natural to
the eye.

You might rethink it some and go with a 135mm. I notice Hermanson has
one
for sale, which means it'll come to you pristine. The thing is, with a
bit
longer lens you'll have more reach when you need it. It's often easier
to
back up a few steps than to get closer.
By the way, I've never worked with this Zuiko so I can't comment on its
personality--should it have one.
