Hi all -- I've been lurking for a couple of weeks, having just succumbed to a
30-year-old wish to own an OM-1. I've been a Nikon user (plus Mamiya TLR and
more recently a Leica M) all that time and have had no reason to complain. But
now that I own my first OM-1, and as of last night a Zuiko 24 2.8, I think
I've been missing something. A lot, actually. It's a truly beautiful camera and
I'm anxious to give it a proper workout. A busy holiday season has conspired
against a lot of picture-taking, but roll #1 using just the 50 1.8 looked good.
I've already learned a lot from folks on this list, and I've also been
amused, of course. There's a distinct character to this crowd, as there is in
much
different ways for the people on the various Leica and Nikon lists. If I were
more adept at the psychology of it all, I might try to define those
distinctions.
This post is also by way of an experiment, namely to see if it actually goes
through to the list. As an AOL user I've seen difficulties along these lines
with some lists. Seems that AOL isn't entirely welcome.
Assuming it does get through, I thank you all for what I've learned so far
and in advance for what I have yet to understand about Olympus. Happy new year
too!
