Oh, man, I'm probably gonna burn in Zuiko Hell for this, but...


...I'm *lusting* after the Contax Aria.  It's the OM-6 Olympus should have 
built, but didn't.  Contax lenses are more expensive than Zuikos, and I have no 
idea if they're better or not, but the Aria body made me blurt out "Maitani 
must have designed this!" while I was checking it out at McBain's Cameras about 
ten days ago.  The salesman who was assisting me (himself a long-time Oly 
owner) just laughed and nodded.

Of course, I'm not giving up my OMs, but boy am I tempted to drop a few grand 
and take the pain in my wallet...
