The connection between my exposure sensor and shutter speed on my Olympus E-1 just failed today, for the second time. Manual exposure is fine, if you are carrying a meter. But shooting with manual Leica lenses in "A" mode is no longer possible. Adorama has a package deal, with a few more goodies for the same price as BH. Have you seen any good deals that still carry the Fuji warranty?
