I am using the 28, 35 and 50. And yes I forgot about zone focusing.
DAH! I need to remind myself I am back at high school shooting with a
Nikkormat.
I enjoy using the camera so far as a come with me all the time camera.
Nice and light compared to my Nikon stuff but just like any tool I need
to bring the right camera for the right job.
Thanks,
Chris
