Nah, if I want small I'll carry a pocket camera. The E-1 is
big, but not huge. My A1 is about rightsize for a digital,
though. But there's just something about my old XA that feels
at home. By the way, my A1 actually fits in the glove box of my
Audi.

Ok, let's reference the OM bodies. Look at the orientation of
the aperture ring and the shutter-speed ring. They go in
OPPOSITE directions. Why? Because of "equivelent" stops. If I
Rotate both in the same direction one click my exposure is still
the same. Some Hassleblad lenses even have a locking mechanism
that moves both together. This was a most brilliant design and
really came in handy. However, I know that some people going
back and forth between other brands of SLRs suffered.
