Giles, that´s Mr Doom personal opinon. Don´t he fear Zeiss abadoning
35mm for
the MF Hasselblads. ;-)

If Olympus has the intention to quit 35mm, why do they still produce
lenses bodys and accessories? Maybe they just have a very very big stock
since the 80´s. ;-)

If someone thinks Olympus has not enough prestige or gimicks, he may
sell his stuff to the list and change to N*k*n, which started as the
camera for the people who could not afford an Leica or Contax. ;-)
The discusion starts to annoy.

Richard
