Sure, it's easy to get excited by a new camera body (remember the 2000?). But
please note that this camera -- while taking the line of LegOm lenses --
does not work with a winder, has a fixed focus screen (most comparable to
the grid screen), does not offer TTL flash, etc.
Also, I suspect that the lens which comes with the camera is not actually
manufactured by Olympus. Note that there does not appear to be a shutter
speed ring around the lens mount either (apparently a ring would not be
possible given the premanufactured modular body which is also used by
some other manufacturers including Lekon and the new Voigolaender blockfinder
bodies.
On the other hand, home repairs are quite possible (even recommended) and the
weight is considerably less than the current titanium bodies. Also the
built in flash syncs with all shutter speeds!
Assuming this photo was shot into a mirror, it should be submitted to TOPE1.
Nice work young sir!
