First thanks for your help with the bodies and macro questions then...

the
amount of lenses...! Looks like you have been collecting for years!
22 years of OM, but after the OM-1 meter died I got an OM-1n and it's
still in perfect shape, so there was no need to look at other bodies,
the 1 was always there as a backup. I come from a tradition of "It's
the art, not the tool", our favorite competition in college was find the
cheapest camera (not an OM you understand) and make the best art. My
friend Sam did amazing shots incorporating the light leaks in his $2
plastic camera into the composition, my Lubitel never did anything as
wonderful in my hands. But now that I can blame it on a mid-life crisis
I find myself considering getting a new OM body. Whereas with the
lenses... you'll note that none are the terribly expensive ones (ok the
shift was dear) some came in trade for work done and while I used to be
able to borrow things like the 21mm that only drove me to desire my own.
>Sure you need all this stuff?? ;-)
Actually I'm pretty sure I don't, but I've no desire at all to part with
any of it. I'm a Zuikoholic who is not interested in a 12-step program.

Forgive the mild pontificating but Zuiko here is not a "domain" in the
internet sense "tr-108.co.jp" is the domain. Thus "zuiko" isn't
incurring an annual registration fee. It's usual for large companies to
register one domain and then start tacking on new keywords to the left,
or in the case of the web as they did in your example. I'd expect
Olympus to eventually use something like www.zuiko.olympus.com where
"olympus.com" is the domain that they have to keep the registration on.

laughter, "that really is a dinosaur!". Hmmm.
You've got me worried for you, both my 1n's make a quiet racing
clockwork sound. Maybe it's because your's speaks Swedish?
