Dear god, this reads like something out of the IRS tax code.
Anyway, rather than absolute quantities of OM gear owned, I think
there needs to be a special allowance for *percentage change* over a
given time. When I joined the list I owned a 2N a T20, and 3 lenses.
In the seven months since, I've increased that by approximately 150%.
And I'm still thinking about an additional 1N and a 50/3.5 macro. . .
Welcome, JM!
