Since I've been lurking on the list a couple of weeks now,
I think it's time I announced my eBay auction . . . :-)
Oops. Sorry.
Seriously, I am new to this list, and new to the OM system,
having bought someone's whole Olympus setup off of eBay recently.
I come to OM through a round-about route. I am a long-time
Canon EOS user, and still love that system. But I began
lamenting the weight of it all, especially since I mostly
use the heavy L zooms.
In search of lighter gear for more casual use, I got bit
by the rangefinder bug. The introduction of the affordable
Cosina-Voigtlander lenses made it feasible for me to consider
Leica, and I now own an M4 and M6-TTL along with a
Voigtlander Bessa R. (For some strange reason, I also picked
up a 1946 Leica IIIc and a Canon QL17). The rangefinders
meet my needs for everyday photography well, but I also thought
it would be nice to have something light weight that can do the
things that SLRs are best at. So I investigated the OM system
and, well, here I am.
I like this list and have picked up a quite a bit of useful
information in a very short time. Thanks for providing the
forum.
