Dear Chris Sluka,
I have read that "Olympus" will be discontinuing the OM
series line and I'd have to say, that I am extremely
disappointed and saddened about this most recent
decision made by your company.
I hope your company will reconsider this unfortunate
move and elects to keep the OM line alive and well for
many years to come.
Sincerely,
Samuel Morales
