No lousy ones, please! <g>
I am not sure which side I'm on here. I agree that Oly equipment is niche and is
well-made. But no new bodies and 1 new lens in the past, what, 6 years
(obviously the 2000 and it's lenses don't count) sure is a sign of apathy or
worse on the part of Olympus. I was hoping for something at Photokina.
Anything
