Hi Moose:
I hear you on that point, but I was hoping we could lose the hand wringing
about which digi, when I bought my OM 4 in 1985 it was because it was what I
wanted, and I had no qualms about the Nik*n or Cont*x systems I left. I am
neutral on the digi stuff, my major point was that there is no real
connection, other than the Nameplate.
