[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hi Sonny, I was curious about your use of the 75 because it has a FOV very close to the one I get with the E-510 and the ZD 35mm f/3.5 Macro, a combination that I am using more and more these days. It provides me with a versatile walk-around kit, with the only downside being that I often find myself backing up in order to get the desired elements in the frame. The resolution of the E-510 is adequate to permit cropping when necessary. As for the thinning of the herd, ya gotta do what ya gotta do!
