The point I was making was that they have not come out with a 
replacement yet and they have telegraphed their discontinuance of the 
OM system for years. They could have sold some digital backs and 
telephotos in the meantime.  And if low volume Mamiya can make a 
profit on a digital back, the I am sure Oly could have too.
