The 35mm f2 Zuiko for the OM system focuses to .3 meters. I don't understand complaining that a lens can focus 'too close'. You don't like to shoot close with a 35? Then don't! But why complain when a manufacturer gives you the option if you ever need it? -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-486-2581 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 4/24/11 9:22 PM, "Marty Deveney" <benedenia at gmail.com> wrote: > I have no idea.
