Well, DUH!
I don't think there are too many of us on this list that have
just ONE lens for our OMs. We'll be foregoing food and shelter
to buy the next E-series lens.
I'm still pretty torn on this one. I like the concept of the
E-1, but the viewfinder image is too small and the focus screen
isn't really meant to focus on. An OM it ain't. Olympus hasn't
made a decent viewfinder in any new camera design for a dozen
years.
I want a "no-excuses" "no-compromise" camera. Why should I go
backwards? The problem here is that our OMs date back to the
heyday of SLR design. Other than the F5 and EOS-1N, SLR design
has gone backwards. Now, with digital, it has gone REALLY
backwards.
Sure, it's got fancy-dancy digital features, and improved
sensors, storage-media and battery life. But when it comes down
to the nuts and bolts of it, ANY camera does 900f photography
well. It's the remaining 10% that requires a tool that doesn't
fight you. The OM, it ain't.
