I tend to equate some of my rationale for using Oly gear as tantamount to
collecting and driving classic cars. They get you from point A to point B
just as a brand new vehicle of choice would, but the sensations and feeling
of the trip are completely different. Some may say arcane and antiquated, I
choose to view it as a 'purer' experience. And if parts of my 'Harrah's
museum' of bodies and lenses happen to appreciate in value along the way, oh
well, I've always got the stock market to offset that gain......
And as John said, keep up the incendiary prose, Ken. It's most enjoyable.

the list when you throw out these little burning fuse
bombs, the give and take is amazing and makes us all
think. Please keep up the good work. thanks, John R.
