I'm asking from a base of ignorance here, but wouldn't this
new development of lenses for the OM mount (if not solely or
even primarily) by Cosina, in light of the discontinuation
of the OM by Olympus, be counted as "a good thing" giving
further "new" life to these "old" bodies? I
understand that these new Cosina/Voigtlander lenses have a
*very* good rep', and it was Cosina who built the OM2000,
yes? Perhaps what they are trying to achieve is a natural
progression for OM-folk to their Bessa range ([insert idle
gossip and thinking out loud:]I wonder if they're considering
an SLR - perhaps the Bessa OM-5 <grin>).

'Course, perhaps expensive as has been said, but wouldn't it
be nice?

Please, stamp all over these musings all who know better. I'll
wander happy as a lamb through my OM-fairyland.

Cheers
Marc
