Good point but in the 1970s and 1980s, film camera construction was a mature
technology so it made sense to buy a body built for a
four decade life span...
Oly has already said that some future bodies in this family will capture far
more information from any given lens, which means the
E-1 will not be the ultimate expression of E series bodies. This is completely
unlike the OM-1 which to this day supports the
latest (film-based) image capture advances (emulsions). Remember when the
Pulsar digital watch was $5,000? I'm keeping my "powder
dry" for now.

now playing: the film scanner is humming...
