A note to All

On Sunday, I decided, after another incident in which a lens stopped
working,
that it was time to move to a more up to date camera system. I have found
the
OM system great, but I am having to work 3 times harder to get the results
that
others that I am out shooting with are getting, mainly because they have a
system
where they can get the right gear and I have to improvise because I can't
find an item
or the price is outrageous because it is a rare item

I haven't been having  too much luck recently with purchases from the "BAY",
and was
always reluctant to pay import duty from the USA for some hard to source
items.

I will still follow OM and keep one or two items that I really like, but my
main focus
now will be building up my new C*non wonderbrick system.

Hopefully the next TOPE entry of mine will be shot on my Oly Trip as I am
unwilling to
part with it!

A friend asked me how I was feeling about the new purchase, thinking I would
be over
the moon at buying a new camera. Without hesitation, I replied  "I feel like
I have lost an
old friend"

Its amazing how used to an old camera and the quirks that go with it.

Regards

Eric
