Well, I contacted Olympus Australia today re. the adapter and was told that
they had made a policy decision that they would not be supplying it in Oz.
The lady I spoke to trotted out the usual BS about the OM lenses not being
suitable for a digital camera, when I mentioned that Canon, Nikon & Pentax
seemed to disagree she said something like "...oh but the 4/3 system is
completely different to their cameras...". I said that based on that I
should then buy a Canon 300D with an OM adapter after which she suggested I
write a letter to the marketing manager.
Has anyone in Oz bought an E-1 or E-300 and managed to get the MA-1 free ?
Can anyone offer any good reason why I should buy an E-300 instead of a
Canon 300D (bearing in mind that the adapter for each is available from
Steven Gandy for the same price) ?
thoroughly p*ssed off,
...Wayne
