Hello,
While I was reading this again, it came to my mind that it is fun to read
between the lines, anyhow, it shows a spirit at Olympus I really like, to
always start overnew, as if nothing existed, without any preoccupations (is
that the right word?).
A few phrases from
<http://www.geocities.com/maitani_fan/om_interview_2.html>....
A: People say that the digital cameras pushed the OM System to the end.
M: Olympus has been most eagerly developing digital cameras. It is
desirable tendency that digital cameras will take the place of film
cameras, actually I think it would be better if we could incorporate
digital technology into the OM System. Well, pushed by the digitals ....
maybe in some way.
...(is this a digital body to OM-mount adaptor in some way?)...
A: F2 macro lenses are not available from other manufacturers yet. Is that
because they are not confident in their own abilities?
M: Rather than confidence, I think they should have more tenacity.
A: Tenacity?
M: Yes. Now, Japan comes to a standstill. We have to consider everything
again from the origin of a high-tech nation to break this deadlock and have
the joy and tenacity to make "something necessary and valuable".
This spirit is one of the reasons I like to use Olympus equipment (from the
AF1, to the pen F and OM-system). A certain independence. And I also feel
it reflects to my own handling of photography. It is like someone here once
said, the difference between taking or creating pictures.
I hope Olympus keeps this spirit alive, in my opinion this is one of the
tings that drive the world, and this philosophy is becoming rarer.
(what a philosophical monday morning)
iwert.
