OM lenses are not straight forward to use, becareful.

you need to find somewhere with steps,easier to work that way.
Imagine a classroom of pupils around 30paxs,add in 25 more and it will be alot.

A ladder or chair would be very helpful in this situation. Elevate yourself so that you can see everyone's faces.
