Thanks Joel
The discount was all I needed to turn me away from the C*non or N*kon
range. I was seriously considering getting a 20D or D70, and buying a
film camera from their respective ranges to share the lenses. That
would have meant selling my OMs & Zuikos. But, since the GM Sales at
Oly UK has agreed to send me a MA-1 as well, I am able to enjoy the
best of both worlds.
However, when it comes to travelling on holiday by air, I have a
feeling that I shall have to choose between film and didge ... I can
see my being relegated to E-1 and XAs!
