Over the hols the only glass I will be looking through will be the bottom of a glass that had been full of Xmas spirit

Not a bad plan, either -- but sometimes it's hard to focus through all that glass... it has something to do with the number of elements, and their grouping...

Toad, I know what you mean. I'm thinking about doing a month-long trip to Australia and California with only my 11-22 and 50f/2. (double the focal lengths for 4/3 system.) I'm trying to get used to them before that, but whenever I have one mounted, I want the other.

... I have six different lenses (seven in total -- one's a duplicate) and they all overlap part of my standard zoom's range of 28-108. My two primes are 70mm and 100mm, my WA is 22-44, my tele is 80-300; I also have a second standard zoom (never used) that covers 28-90mm. I must be a complete nut.
