============================================================
I bought a black Olympus Pen FT to carry as a
"hideaway" camera in 'Nam in '68. I had found that even
with proper credentials I still had trouble from time to
time with people who had more rank than brains. I hjave a
few amusing stories about deflating egos, but not for now.
I eventually bought a new black one with the compact
lens, and then got a black Rollei 35 in '69. The black pen
then went unused. I still have those toys and am debating
selling them. If anyone is interested, please contact me privately.
