Too true Bill,(and too sad) I'm really a photo
curmudgeon that distusts electronics, but well
thoughtout designs are used effectively by our members
all the time, the OM-4/4t and OM-2s are praised by the
list. But if you held out a new 4t and a like new 1n
and said I could have only one, without a moments
pause I'd grab the 1n. It's illogical I know, but I
can't help myself<G> John Robison
