I'm in Maltby. At work right now in Everett.
Probably not close enough (?).
What's your time-line? Could possibly figure something out.

Subject: [OM] Re: Using OM adapters, was: More E-410 FULL FRAME TEST
SHOTS
Is there anyone in Seattle with an adaptor who wants to try the 410? I
left mine at home but I have my 24/2 with me and I happen to know
there's a 21/2 just down the street. I'd really like to try them on the
410...
