are they any good?
I've read a lot about OM lenses. There's a lot of praise about the 28/3.5 and 28/2.0 (I think the 2.8 is no different by oh so many 28/2.8 lenses that go around), the 50/1.8 and 50/1.4, the 100's, the 85 (especially in this forum, other forums tend to vote on the 100/2.8) and the wider than 28 lenses.
I have rarely - if ever - read anything about the two 35 mm lenses. Maybe a few comments calling them "mediocre" here and there. They both seem to be of older design ('70s zuiko?) - especially since the 35/2.0 features the bigger 55mm thread, while they did manage to construct the 28/2.0 using the 49mm thread.
Does anybody have any experience to share?
My interest lies in the fact that I currently own the 28/3.5, 50/1.4 and 50/1.8. Going out and using both a 28 and a 50 is inconvinient at times and i often find myself wanting something wider than a 50, but not so wide as a 28.
