In fact, I'm sure you're well aware that I have repeatedly said that whether or not I believe film is 'dead,' if it's what works for someone, that's obviously what they should use. I also didn't suggest that you should like the Olympus - I've made it quite clear there are things about it that I don't like - in fact, I've said that it is not a pro camera, and there are things about it that are more great idea than fully realized features. But as to the fact that you have more lenses for your digital than I do for mine...well LOL. :-) ___ Sent with SnapperMail www.snappermail.com ..... Original Message .......
