Don't know the answer, but at 58, I still have the same predilection for 50mm and 90mm lenses that I've always had. Even 35mm seems too wide for me. Can't even remember the last time I used my Olympus 21mm. And as I'm farsighted, I keep needing stronger positive eyepiece lenses or newer glasses to get a clear view through the viewfinder.
