Wildlife photographer Mattias Klum (of National Geographic cover aug 97
fame) actually is left-eyed AND has always used P*nt*x gear, mostly the
great LX-cameras.
Obligatory Olympus-content: One guy who I aquired my F280 flash from engaged
Mattias for a lecture at his photo-club. Many have asked Mattias why he
doesn't use Nikon or Canon, one main reason was the LX features of
mechanical shutter and TTL-flash. He reportedly stated that Olympus gear may
be just as good under tropical, humid situations but that they had no
mechanical-shutter/TTL-flash camera. This was before the days of the OM3Ti.
I met Mattias last november. I guess I could have entered this subject, but
it didn't feel appropriate. We talked about rainforests in general, and he
signed a copy of his new Borneo-book for me. (VERY highly recommended!).
