Well thanks Moose. The List had gotten too political for my taste so I
signed off back in the Fall. But, I thought I'd stop by for awhile and see
what everyone was up to.

That's understandable, me too. Well, I already had a C3040 but I've added
a DSLR.

That's also understandable.

Does that even include the reasons for going to other makes such as Canon
for instance? If it does then the List must have grown by leaps and bounds
in tolerance. :-)

Ok, who put the gag on Tom Scales? Was it Larry by any chance? Anyway,
you should take it off right now!

Well, you always seemed to have good taste. I personally got tired of
squinting with these tired old eyes and decided to try auto focus. I
wanted to use the same lens with both film and digital so I went with a
EOS3 and a 10D. It's certainly been a different experience than shooting
with the OM equipment - some good differences, some not so good.

I'm not using mine but haven't sold any of it either. I'm thinking that I
might cut back on several bodies and a few lens though. Are prices still
holding up or have they fallen through floor like those for Hasselblad stuff?

I'll look it up.

Yep, a very nice lens that gets no respect. You'll have to pry mine from
my cold, dead hands.
>Lots of OM and film stuff still going on on the list.
Yep, and I see that Walt is still fighting his inner desires to go
digital. :-)
Good to hear from you,
Johnny
