Hi folks,

Instead of debating if Kierstin should purchase a Vivitar 300mm or a Olympus 300mm I think it'd be more appropriate to ask if this is the right focal length for her to purchase at this time. I've owned an Oly 300mm since the seventies and I bet I haven't shot a roll of film with it during that time. It's too big to conveniently carry around, it should be mounted on a tripod a lot of the time for best results, and I just don't have that many occasions where I find a need for that length. Mine stays in the closet most of the time.

So, what say you? Is a 300mm a reasonable choice for a second lens for a beginner?

Later,
Johnny
