Hey, being called an Old Fart is good. That's one of the "best" things I get
called. At least, I don't get yelled at for buying Oly stuff any more. I've
got almost everything I might want. Well, almost. One advantage of being an
retired old fart is that I don't get layed-off. A little sun would be nice
now to make things a little more photogenic around here. /jim

Subject: Re: [OM] Finding the right Tamron lens
I'm ordinarliy leery or those folks who don't know what they're
trying to sell, or who pretend not to know. That way lies getting
screwed, methinks. Ignorance, pretend or real, sometimes is a
cloak for dastardly deeds in pursuit of chicanerous commerce.
As for what they call me -- well, after "old fart," I hesitate to
relate other terms in polite company, which at least a couple of
those reading this might be. Suffice to say, I answer to many
opprobrious appelations, most of which I have earned through many
years of effort.

>>For those who may be trolling in the Bay for a Tamron lens of
one kind or another, do a search for "adaptall" and not
for "tamron." That way, you'll find only those lenses that, with
the proper OM Adaptall 2 mount, will work on an OM body.
Otherwise, you're going to have to wade through and cull out all
those great Tamron lenses that fit inferior "other" camera systems.
