I did five years of solid, well-paid work with my recently deceased ME
Super and 50mm f1.4. I had a few other lenses and never used them, as
the 50 was much faster and all of my work was lower-light. Then one day
some lenses wandered into the store where I was working, and BAM! Now I
have lots of 'em. I wouldn't say that the quality of my work has gone
up dramatically (and if it has gone up at all it's prolly not because of
the lenses), but my shooting style has changed. My 50mm f1.4 took a
nasty tumble over a year ago now, and I've been kinda pining for it of
late, and I think that if and when I pick up an MZ-S I'll make my first
AF lens a 50mm f1.4 and use it exclusively for at least a couple of
weeks to see what happens.
