Tsk! I meant, 'bought an orphan 50mm/1.8' - NOT bought an OM10. I've
recommended OM10's to a number of beginners.
Some stores around here have up to 15 'orphan' 50/1.8's with hopeful $50
price tags on them! This grieves me deeply for they will never find a home.
(Obviously, every OM2000 buyer should be counselled appropriately.)
We must rise up and save them. It's too much to hope that they can be used
for their original purpose, fine as they are, so what other needs could
they meet?
