Subject:       life span of OM's

I re-read my post from a few days ago regarding my opinion on the life span
of OM's.... and I realized how rude I came across.  Sorry about that, I
felt bad after reading my intonations....  So, what I meant, in a clearer
fashion:

I find myself buying OM bodies, of which I have too many currently, because
I feel they won't be around forever.  But, generally when I find an OM
body, it is in great shape...  very slight signs of use after 10 - 20
years...  So, there is a lot of older SLR equipment that hasn't, and isn't
being used.  Not necessarily on this list, but a lot of people have stopped
using SLR's. In my opinion, it will all be available for a long, long time.
 

I travel a fair ammount (Nepal, Peru, India, New Zealand, around the U.S.)
in the last 3 years, and when travelling, using my cameras quite often,
they wear a lot in a month.  So, the garage sale camera that looks great
probably hasn't had much film in 15 years......  and they'll still be
around in 15 more years.
 I think, anyway.

James.
