Heh...but can you develop a fetish for plastic lens cases? All phallic 
imagery aside, when I stand around holding my one of my OMs with a 
Zuiko on it I love the feeling of the lens barrel. That satisfying 
tactile sense of the aperture ring and shutter speed ring and the way 
they naturally fall under my fingertips. So cool and metallic and with 
very precise detents. And the sound of the OM shutter is the sweetest 
thing this side of a Leica rangefinder. If someone designing a digital 
could grab that aesthetic the way Mr. Maitani did and make me fall in 
love with a digital system I'd be there in a second. I know in the end 
its all about the images, but the process with an OM is so satisfying.
