Thanks, Gary. Yeah, the OM-1 and 50/1.4 came by way of you. John H. made
them live again. I think fondly of both you gents when I shoot with them.
Hey, I'll be back in January. Make some dough on somebody else in the

I'll see how things fare with the Slik and then who knows. The other pod I
looked at in the store was the 3050 w/3047 head (I think). The kid who
waited on me thought I was nuts even thinking about putting an OM-1 on that
thing. I'm expecting the large lens support platform to help me out a lot.
Best,
Joel
