sorry for delayed reply but was off for a few days and there is loads of 
emails on this list.

No you are not the only one, I have never owned or used a 1 or 1-n 
either. I do however use an om10 body as the "cheap" one. Despite most 
people condemning this camera I find it has been fine for my use so 
never saw the need for a 1 or 1-n

and to answer an earlier question, I bought my 3Ti new, why that and not 
the 4Ti, well at the time I was earning well so money was not such an 
issue as today. I did my research and the 3Ti won mainly because it 
should be more robust in extremes and the Full Flash sync capability 
with F280. Main gripe is lack of mirror lock up and a timer. Perhaps I 
do need to think of getting a 1. Would I buy one again over a 4Ti - then 
the answer is probably yes.

I asked previously about this but now there are more E1's around has 
anybody actually tried it with the slide copier.
