Here's the problem with the OM system. It's too small. My entire system
sits in a bag, no bigger than 6"x6"x6". So... I carry it with me wherever
I go in taiwan, and wherever else I migh travel. I see my friend's N*kon
bag. Ouch! and he's only got like a body and 1 lens in it too! BUT, what
I have noticed is, his bag is SOOOO huge, he can basically strap a monopod
on, and you wouldn't notice... BUT, on my OM bag, you would notice as it's
like a foot too long.
When I asked my friend's dad who has been a photographer for some 25+ years,
which is the best lens... His answer was:
"The sharpest lenses produce the sharpest pictures. The sharpest lenses are
generally the ones on tripods or monopods. So save your money on the
thousand dollar lenses, and buy a tripod. A Leica in hand, is generally
less sharp than anything else mounted on a tripod with mirror lockup."
I got his point.. And I know that a monopod will buy me about 3-4 fstops
more than what I can do in hand..
But how to carry it?? Also, what's the smallest one on the market right
now??
Thanks.
Albert
