Jim, between you and Tom Scales when he was trading in high gear, I start
to feel that my "kit" is quite modest. In fact, you guys make even me feel
normal. I think I have only 11 OM bodies and a modest 17 Zuikos (and two
non-zuiko's). And a Pentax kit (body + 5 lenses) and 3 Minox'es.
Yup, I definitely feel normal ;)
