That's all my fault.. well, not really a fault, but you know what I mean.
I just sold my 6x9 folder camera, and still have my OM, and even bought a
lens hood for it.. so, I don't think there's any danger in that.
Also, one of the strengths of the OM system is SIZE!! I mean, have you SEEN
an RZ?? That short daytrip is not going to have a RZ packed in it, I can
guarantee you that. Especially when my OM+3 lenses + flash + 5 rolls of
film + batteries + filters = a bag 6"x6"x6". That's COMPACT..
The OM is not in dangered by MF. No way.. Totally different beasts..
