They use Nikons and Canons, mainly, I reckon. I don't really know, nor
much care. John H. pointed up a pro using OM. So take heart, and take my
remarks with a grain of salt. I think pro's probably need system stuff
that is easier to come by than waiting around for it to be offered up on
eBay. It doesn't mean it's better than OM if a pro uses it, just more
modern and more readily available probably.
