Yeah, they've been kicking around for awhile now -- but there seems to have 
been a thread, if memory serves, about a year or two years ago that basically 
implied this stuff really wasn't any better than (say) Kodak Tech Pan.  Sorry, 
my aging brain has no further details, but I recall that, even if the claims of 
ultra-high-resolution are true, your OM-series lenses have insufficient 
resolution to actually take advantage of such film capabilities.  I'd recommend 
a nice can of Ilford Delta 100 developed in Ilford's Ilfotec DD-X to cure you 
of any Gigabitfilm envy.  Sure cured mine!
