Bill,
While I joined this group late, when I started using Olympus 4/3
systems, and have no OM gear, my recent experience is exactly opposite
to yours. My E-1 and E-510, with assorted lenses, provide about 90% or
more of my images. I have access to a local lab that will process film
and provide high-resolution CDs (only recently), but the whole process
is so drawn out that I just hate to go to the trouble. I have had some
good images from that process, but digital is much, much simpler.
