I have no OM lenses, but sometimes we stumble on a real jewel. I had a need for a close-focusing 100mm, while trying to decide whether or not to spring for the new Fujinon 90/2.0. I have never really liked extenders. But, I took a Leica-R Summicron 50 and added a 2X Extender, all from the 1970s, and was amazed how the combination performed for me. For butterflies, there are times when manual focus and no shutter delay work better than AF.

Olympus Colors.

The 6D ain't no E-1 when it comes to colors. Pardon me while I cry. :(

OK, now that I got that out of the way... I have to learn to ETTR.

But that lens, oh, that lens. I can't say that there is anything to
complain about the sharpness of the OM Zuiko 100/2.8. Even when
haphazardly taped to the front of a Canon, it does very well.
