I have the 300 f/4.5, the 350 f/2.8 is astronomically expensive and heavy.   So are
the incredible 180 f/2 and 250 f/2.  But it is the viewing system in the OM4t, even
with the brightest screen that is the hinderance.

For rangefinder use I use: Canon P, or 7s2 and 35f1.8, 50f1.8, 85f1.9 and 100f3.5
OR  Kiev 4a, or Olympus 35sp, or Canon G-III, or Leica IIIa.

So for my specific needs the Leicaflex SL and long lenses will do very well.

Thanks, Mike
