I hardly think, Windsor, that giving away an adapter to a comparative
handful of OM diehards is going to make the difference between success
or failure for the OM1. And, let's see if this turns out to be true. ;-)
Assuming you meant E-1 rather than OM1, what it might do is push a few folks
off the fence and those few might also help to push a few more and so on.
>From where I sit on the fence, I certainly see it as a positive move. Rather
than having to buy a body and 2 or 3 lenses, I could get my feet wet for the
price of a body and probably 1 lens. Could be done with no lenses. What I
think
would happen is they would end up selling all the lenses they wanted to sell
as people started using the camera and appreciating the differences between the
E-1 lens and their "old" OM lenses. It would give the user an opportunity to
transition over a period of time. What they need to do is generate more
users and this may do the trick for them. Bill Barber
