Thanks, George!
I'm happy to know, that there are (few?) list members, who are interested in
photography.
There are so many threads here dealing with buying (what for?) and collecting
OM stuff. I have no idea what to do with SEVEN (some days ago) 50mm. And - Im
so sorry - I don't believe, that anyone but you zuikoholics is impressed by an
Olympus collection.

Why collect an OM-3 at all? Do you think it'll be "rare" in your lifetime? No
offense, but all you 'collectors' aren't gonna get rich doing this.
Especially buying examples off eBay. They're mostly, not in collectible
shape. Cameras were made to be USED, and the OM-3 is one fine tool. Not using
it is a shame, IMO.

A solid mint one of course is most desirable. I'm not sure if there is
any rule to decide if the condition of the item is good "for
collection". I think it is a matter of personal taste. To me I need
the item to be at least 90ew and fully functional. My OM3 has no
even a paint mark (after I changed the back) but there is a hardly
noticeable dent on top, can be recovered if needed (has to remove the
top cover).
