And while I, too, am a fan of the Om3-4 system, I am a bit puzzled by the fact that you essentially use the M only to carry an assortment of 50 mm lenses, while you use the OM for both wides and short teles. Granted, a 90 or 100 probably makes more sense on a reflex than on an M, but a wide? I know the 21 f 2 on the OM is a terrific lens, but no way in hell - other than in terms of the extra stop, does it beat the 21 ASPH, either in terms of optical quality or ease of focus. B. D.
