Winsor, thanks for the nice words on the carousel horse...I like that
one too, but just noticed some dust and a small fiber on the scan, so
I will have to dust it, rescan it and repost it....
BTW, I uploaded two shots to pbase from the you-know-what...they are here:

More to come, but it's very late (and I'm tired from doing a lot of
film scanning).
Yes, I miss the Oly C4040Z. I liked it a lot and the image quality
from it was quite wonderful. I've also uploaded some more images from
it to pbase tonight for you and Jim Caldwell (and whomever else might
be interested)....

I plan on getting another digital, but at this point, I don't know if
I would get another C4040Z.....it was a wonderful camera, but I found
it bulkier to use when carrying it on either the motorcycle or
bicycle than I would have liked. As a consequence, I found I didn't
take it with me as much as I had planned when I bought it. Instead, I
would take the "you-know-what" as it was much more compact. Also the
"long" boot times and shut-down times on the C4040Z drove me crazy at
times...
I've been thinking of getting a replacement that is smaller and more
compact, like the C*n*n S40, but that has viewfinder issues, so I
have decided to probably plan to get two digitals at some point in
time...a compact in the near future and an SLR a bit later on. I will
look closely at the new C-50, as it seems to be targeted to the
customer base that the S40 is (was), and it is after all, an Olympus!
So I am thinking of giving up some of the incredible level of control
and flexibility of the C4040Z for something more compact, but I think
I'll get an E20 some time this year....the price has come down so
much in the last year, that I should be able to snag one at some
point for right around a grand. I would then use the new C-50 as a
do-everything, go-everywhere camera, and the E20 would fill in as a
"full-featured" digital. Certainly Mike Veglia has gotten beautiful
stuff from his E10.
Cheers,
Stephen

Subject: Re: [OM] Hey gang! and an OM4 T question
Winsor, that Contax T3 is just frickin' amazing! I just shot some
stuff with it last on my Tahoe vacation and last Sunday and was just
blown away with the results. I will post some stuff and send you the
link.

Nice to have you back Stephen. Great shots.. I really like the
carousel horse. The subdued lighting makes it look mysterious and
definitely from another age. Can't wait to see your Contax stuff.
The T3 really is a nice little camera.
Sorry about the loss of your camera. I wonder if digital is more
valued by thieves than film cameras these days. If so maybe we could
make up labels for our bags that say, "Old, worthless film camera."
