om 180/2.8

[backalley photo]

just won a zuiko 180/2.8 on the bay for a pretty good price.

while i have not used the om1 very much YET i have been busy gathering old lenses to form what may be the biggest single system kit that i have ever owned before!

i won an om2n which i'm still waiting to receive, along with a 28-48 zoom which seems to be on the rare side, bought another winder for the om2 and a 135/3.5 which arrived a few days ago.

my plan is to continue to cruise ebay etc. and look for low prices.
this 200/5 had a starting price of 19.99, no reserve and no bids.
i bid 21.99 and never looked at the auction again till it was over.
i like having that fast 180 (not here yet) but a slow and small 200 will work fine in our great alberta summer light and even the winter light but for a much shorter part of the day.

There'll like be a huge difference in weight too, 72mm filter size vs probably 49mm.

yep, 49mm filter.

and a better chance of a sharp pic with a smaller lens, easier to hold anyway.
