I used to have one but sold it when trimming down my Oly system last year. I am
now down to E3 plus the 12-60 and 50-200mm lenses. That's all I need for the
occasional cricket outing and such.
For Tuesday night, I was thinking of taking my backup rangefinder, the film
Cosina/Voigtländer Bessa R2M which I am using daily. Of course it accepts my
fast Leica lenses. But in this case I wanted digital so that I could share the
pics with the participants this side of the holidays.
