Joel, you are probably right, but how did this come about? The 135 (especially
the little f3.5) is a small & light lens which gives a lovely feeling of being
right next to a person and produces crisp photos. I covered my mother's wedding
(amicable outcome :-)) and the candids on the 135 came out beautifully. The 80
-
? zooms are large and heavy with poor apertures - I don't see the attraction.
I should think that there are some Olympus users who strive still for the
simplicity of the erstwhile amateur's kit.
