I guess if Walt can succumb to the temptation I can too. My new E-1 just
arrived in a very warm box today. I don't see anything in the package about
ordering the OM adapter. Someone refresh my old slow mind....do I need to
call Olympus to order it? Thanks. /jmac

Add another devilish voice to the din.  With nine cases of gear already,
what's one more itsy-bitsy OM body?  And I've been shooting Tri-X since Moby
Dick was a minnow.  The only B&W film I think is better is Plus-X, and only
by a little bit.
