Ok, you knew that you were going to bring me out of the woodwork on this one,
didn't you? I agree that one general purpose zoomie lens is handy, but your
assessment about the reuse lenses is all wet. But then again, maybe it's
because of the viewfinder designs in the "dark-side" cameras.
My personal recommendation to Steve is to scarf an E-1 if he's able to find
one. They are as rare as hens teeth not just because of the limited number of
sales, but because few people are getting rid of them. The more I have to deal
with the E-3, the more impressed with the E-1 I become.
Without the battery-grip and a small lens mounted, the E-1 really isn't that
large or heavy. It ain't an OM body, but for that matter, nothing is.
