>>Right now I can't take certain pictures because
I don't want to throw good money after bad on the necessary
lens. Regardless of one's feelings towards Nikon and their
equipment, it is a fact that there is a healthy market in
Nikon lenses. I suspect anyone paying the AUD $1220 for
a new Zuiko 100mm f2.8 might take a bath if they ever had
to exit the OM system. Whereas a 90mm Tamron *macro* lens
in Nikon AF mount costs less new ($910 in Adaptall, probably
the same in AF), can probably be found used anyway, and is
readily saleable - not that Nikon are likely to abandon
their mount.

Wrong again.
Why don't you compare new Zuiko lenses to new Nikon AIS lenses? Yes, in
both cases you will take a hit. That's called depreciation, and it exists
for all products.
Used Oly stuff has kept its value, and in many cases, increased in value.
There's an active market in it.

Denton Taylor
