I hope so. If so, maybe the D70 can be the lone non-Oly in my collection.
Well, perhaps I am a bigger heathen than you (interesting I say that as I
sit at my computer, while my bride is at the church house, where I'm to be
found
most Sunday mornings).
My stash closet holds, in addition to a pretty extensive group of OM gear, a
fairly complete Mamiya Universal kit, an Omega view camera, a Toyo 45AX
field camera and a Zero Image pinhole camera. For anyone interested the
Mamiya
Universal and Omega 45E are in a holding pattern to go on ebay. So if anyone
is interested, contact me off list.
On my trip out into the brush yesterday, my kit included an OM 2S with a
21mm f2 and a roll of Tri-X, the Zero Image with some Tmax 100 and the e-1 and
lenses. There is a particular project I'm working on that had me carrying the
pinhole and the OM 2S with the 21mm.
For all the diehards out there (and I assume that is most, if not all of us)
I did make an interesting observation, while using all three of these
cameras. Other than the pinhole, the OM 2S with the 2-13 screen is by far the
easiest to focus. I'm not going to trade the e-1 off on something else,
however
I do like a split image. You young bucks, with perfect eyesight and 32 inch
waists won't appreciate that comment, however, if you are lucky to live long
enough, you will. Bill Barber
