No, I thought long and hard about selling the OM stuff before I let it go. The
specialized items and all that flash gear just doesn't get used enough to keep
sitting here. Someone else should put it all to good use. Back before I had
children, I had lots of time to go take bug and flower pictures to my heart's
content. All day, all weekend, it didn't matter, the time was mine. Now I
barely have an hour at 10pm to think about photography, much less trying to fit
anything in between all the house responsibilities and the kids' activities.
I just read the new Amatuer Photographer (U.K. magazine) review of the E-1 and
they really loved the camera, gave it a 95%. They couldn't say enought good
things about the camera and said that it produced the best images this side of
a Canon 1Ds. They particularly mentioned the less aggressive approach that
Olympus seems to have taken regarding in-camera processing. This jives with
continued postings over on dpreview.com where many shooters have been talking
about the "film-like" characteristics of the images.
I hear it calling.....calling........but not until 2004
Don't forget, I still have two OM bodies and 7 lenses for me to get my fix with
