Amen...if I hadn't had the AAFES (Army and Air Force Exchange System) to 
discount my OM purchases, they would have been non-existant. When I left 
Germany in '79 I went by the PX to get my self a "going away" present and saw 
the first mid-range zoom they had stocked (I think it was the 35-70 mm f3.6, 
selling for right at $300.), but nearly swooned when I saw the price. Thus, 
getting the 35-70mm 3.5-4.5 off Ebay for $69 in '97 was a miracle to me! I 
still hold it in awe that it is such a beautiful little package!
