Welcome Linda
... and congratulations on a good buy. I know that looks are not
important for good pictures, but if you can find a slip-on hood for
the 50/1.8 you will find that you really look the part of a thinking
photog ;-). Of course, a hood ("shade") serves a proper purpose i
helping to prevent flare as well...
People won't worry too much about your making long posts, as long as
you reduce the quoted parts of other posts to a minimum and don't use
html (which you didn't).

This summer I stopped at a flea market looking for a small piece of carpet
and on the way out I spotted some camera equipment at a vendor's table. It
turned out to be a nearly mint OM-2n with the original 50mm f1.8 lens, a
Vivitar 70-210 MC macro focusing zoom, a Vivitar 2x matched multiplier
(more on that in a later message), a couple of skylight filters, a T32
flash, a Bounce Grip (more on that later, too), a Winder 2, and a few TTL
autocord thingies.

One more thing -- at my brother's wedding this past August, the wedding
photographer saw what I was using, got very excited and asked if he could
see it, saying "Do you know what you have here?!"
Now I just have to learn to do the camera justice. I've never progressed
beyond taking nice snapshots, and now I hope to learn a bit about
photography.
O.k., too long-winded already. Thanks for reading.
