Thanks RustyBug, but I actually was already a member (120/4 Macro). I was actually intending to pick up the 150/2.8 A, but ended up with the 3.5 through a communication problem (hence the "I wasn't planning this..") The lens isn't the 2.8A, but it seems to give a decent IQ, and it's quite compact for a 150mm.
The C 150/3.5 does produce decent IQ. The A 150/2.8 produces excellent IQ. Of course, the f/2.8 is bigger, heavier, and more spendy.

Most recent purchases are Contax G 28/2.8 in Leica M mount and Voigtlander 25/.95 mFT mount.
Man I really want both that GH2 AND the 25 f/.95. The GH2 is going to be the next digital camera I buy for sure. I have really enjoyed working with the GF1.

I still have my GF1, and I doubt I'll sell it. I really like it with the 20/1.7 lens.
The GH2 and 25/.95 is a great combo. The lens is pretty sharp at .95, and you would need the EVF of the GH2 ( G1, and GH1 too ) to get the sharpest focus. Lens is built like a tank--very well made.

I use the GF1 with the 14 and 20mm pancake lenses and they are just total gems. I do have the EVF for it as well and it works ok, but I would really like to see the EVF on the GH series. At least I'm able to focus my Canon FD lenses with it.

This will be my last OM lens.
(I had the f/2.8 180mm before, but it seems to be not one of Olympus best lenses, a lot of competing lenses in this FL are better)I see a 250/2 in your future Rudi.
Never say never, but I think in that case I rather would buy a Sigma f/2.8 300mm AF.
Great IQ, autofocus, new and cheaper than the OLY.

om 40mm f/2: I had one of those - nice little lens. But I find the value so inflated I had to sell it, just couldn't keep the $ tied up in it.
My recent purchases: RZ67 75mm shift *and* RZ 75mm short barrel+T/S adapter+ground glass back. Somewhat redundant but the dedicated shift lens has twice the shift of the T/S adapter.

Just picked up a pair of C/Y extension tubes - a 20 and a 27 - no glass, but yippee! do they make the 100 f3.5 Sonnar sing...

Tair 135mm f/2.8 and Voigtlander 58mm f/1.4 SLII. Both are lovely and unexpectedly both have similar background rendering...VERY smooth transitions that give almost a pearlescent look to OOF highlights. Loads of fun in store once the weather shapes up.

P.S. Todd, thanks again for the Voigtlander!
