Cheers that summary Bill. True, what does 'enough' really mean... I've
been enjoying using a 50mm f/1.8 and f/3.5 on my E-1, but have been
selling some of my Zuiko glass as I'm finding the new lenses to be
better (for me) in most instances (I know, sacrilege, but I don't have
much in the exotic OM section).
The 55mm f/1.2 is available from a reputable dealer (not ebay) for
around $260. I'm mostly interested, like you, in the possibilities of
having a very fast portrait lens. I'll do some more research on this and
then try and make a non-emotional decision ;).
