Well, in the last few years I've purchased new marco lenses in 90, 50, 38
and 20mm lengths, a couple of macro flash units, and a 35-80 zoom. Used,
I've bought many other items. I have little worry of being left holding the
bag. If OM production stopped today, it would take several years for the
new on-the-shelf items to sell through and the used market would certainly
continue to flourish. Surely, prices would rise and I suppose there would
come a point where I'd consider selling my collection and cashing in. But I
doubt it. I just added my fifth OM to the family today. Now, if this
year's bonus is any good, maybe I can fill that empty spot with a new 3Ti :)
