World Class climbers John Roskelley and Jim States both used Olympus in the 
late 70's and into the 80's.
Roskelley shoots with a Nikon FM in later shots and States uses the Canon EOS 
system now I believe.

<< Hi all,
 
 Just picked up a copy of Mountaineer by Chris Bonington. Saw a little picture
 on the back cover of the dust jacket with said author holding a black OM2 
and a
 medium telephoto. If you've got a chance to see this book, you'll find 
splendid
 examples of what the OM camera can do.
 
 There's a little note at the back of the book which goes like this.
 
 "Photography-   I changed to Olympus cameras in 1974 with the introduction of
 its compact single lens reflex system. All my pictures in this book since 
1974
 are taken on Olympus cameras and lenses, using Kodrchrome 25 and 64 above the
 snowline and Kodachrome 200 below."
 
 Any other famous pros who use the OM system?
