Say -- as you may remember -- I'm a film guy, at least 'til right now.
I'm going back to Utah late May for 2 weeks armed with lots of OM gear.
However -- I'm also going to take the big jump into either a 510 or an
E-3. I've test shot both so have a fair idea of their handling
differences. I'm going to plunk down my grandkids endowment this Friday
for one or the other. (I'm planning both film and digital in Utah - it'll
be interesting for me to see the differences. I shoot UC100 film). I
will be happy to share the results of the comparison (pitting E-3 or 510
against 4ti/21 et al see below.)
My questions. (Premise: I'm a landscape guy and like to print 20 x 30's)
1. Except for the viewfinder (which I think is a very big deal, but I'm
not sure it's a $1000 deal), will I see significant differences between
510 and E-3 assuming the same lens is used ??
2. Will I see a significant difference between the 12-60 and the 510 kit
lens ? That is, would you put the 12-60 on the 510?
3. Will I see a significant difference between the high-end Zuikos (the
100 f2, 35 f2, 50 MIJ, 21 f2) mounted on the E-3/510 compared to the
12-60? (Since I'm landscape oriented, the autofocus is not a real big
deal for me.)
4. I've heard rumblings of price reductions on the E-3. What is your
understanding / expectation on E-3 pricing in the next several months?
Thanks very much!!!!! Your answers will be very helpful to me.
