Agreed. Although auto-focus is a trap for weak minds, Nikon has
proven that a high quality AF system can keep a purist MF system
alive, and I wish that Olympus had done the same.

I take issue with that. One of the things I love about my OMs is the
light, small package. I can snap the MD on when I need it, and snap
it off when I don't. No need to lug whan I don't need on any given
day.

Agreed. Those would have helped.

Named after the oldest Cohol boy, wasn't it?
