Well, i've gone and done it. Adorama had the E3/12-60 combo. plus the
MF1 to use my legacy zuikos, a c-pol and skylight (hoya, nothing
fancy), just because i do tend to shoot in rain and more of that
coming this winter. even got 3day shipping just because i want it
before the 4-5day weekend :D
feels good. quite a dent in the wallet, my my. patching along the E10
for the last month or so, hopefully it will still be a beater camera.
so who else's gone off the deep end?
