Based on your expertise what do you think I am missing lens wise? I like to shoot anything that suits me. I have a particular fondness for getting close to things and prefer animals to people for portraits. I prefer to travel light and shoot handheld and as I live in the NW low light is sometimes unavoidable. I loved shooting Tri-x if that makes a difference.
After some trading and selling (and a bit of bartering) I have ended up with the following:
hexanon 40/1.8
hexanon 50/1.7
hexanon 135/3.2
super takumar 55/1.8
OM 50/1.8
OM 28/2.8
OM 35-70/3.5-4.5
14-42 kit lens
As I see it (given the 2x multiplier) I have the 100 - 300 pretty much covered. The OM 28/2.8 has my "normal" covered (although I'd prefer to have a 24/2.8 but I have what I can afford). I need to rely on the kit lens for WA because I'd rather make my car payment than pay the going rate for primes that would end up being WA on the PEN.
The OM 50/1.8 and the OM 35-70/3.5-4.5 are probably doomed. I like the OM 28/2.8 but I'm not opposed to an upgrade. I'd like to find a long lens for birding (which I do on occasion). Finally, for no good reason I am enamored of the idea of getting something like a Jupiter 8 (which I clearly don't need but then again I don't NEED any of this stuff).
Any suggestions?
Kevin
