Welcome back, Frank. Sorry, I don't need any audio equipment but I'm
glad to see you've found a lightweight camera that can do what you need.
But I am confused about the camera. I'd never paid any attention to
the most of the Sony line so decided to look up the specs of the RX100
III. From what the DPReview article says the camera has a fixed 24-70
(equivalent) lens. How is it that you're able to do macro work and also
use an OM teleconverter on a fixed lens camera? From DPR's photo of the
camera it also appears that the lens has no filter threads. Sounds like
you couldn't even use close-up lenses. What don't I understand?

Hello all.
I have been a very enthusiastic Olympus photographer in the past, and
also a regular contributor to the list from 1995 until a few years
back. When the Olympus gear became - litterally - too heavy a burden
for my old shoulders, I have switched to lighter gear and sold off all
my Olympus equipment. But I have always kept lurking the list
contributions from many of you...
I am still an enthusiastic photographer but nowadays I almost
exclusively use one small camera, a S*ny RX100 III. I am very happy
with that, expecially since I could continue all macro work I used to
do with my Oly equipment before. I bought the camera as soon as I
learned that it had a good viewfinder, a real must for my purposes.
Every now and then I use an Olympus tele converter on the S*ny for
range extension.
Anyway, that is not the reason for this contribution to the list.
I have still a lot of other Olympus equipment, which now must go
because of my moving to a smaller house. I want to say goodbye to a
lot of Pearlcorder dictation and transcribing equipment and hope that
it will find a good home somewhere instead of going to the recycling
point of our waste collector...
To give you an idea I have three T-2020, one DT-1000, one DT-200 to
go, most of them new and boxed. And an Olympus Pencorder 1N-524, as
new and boxed. And a Zuiko Pearlcorder, but perhaps I will keep that
collectible item a bit longer, it being small and therefore fit for my
new house.
I also have many, many accessories for all kind of Pearlcorder
recorders, both handheld and desktop type.
My question: is any of you list members interested in Olympus
Pearlcorder audio equipment to be added to your collection? In that
case please reply off list. In the meantime I will prepare a list of
all precise items I have got.
