Re: [OM] E-30

[Chris Barker]

I suppose the 14-54 is more compact than the  12-60.  I enjoy using my  
E-3 with that lens and my E-420/14-42 alternately.  The latter zoom  
seems to work quite nicely and I have had no complaints with the  
camera either.  In fact the reliance of the E-420 on only one focus  
point seems to be a point in its favour overall.

I took some snapshots at a party on Friday night with the E-420 and  
14-42.  The bounce flash is obvious (with the older 30 jobbie) but the  
quality is reasonable.

Thanks for reminding me of the E-3's grip; it's still sitting in its  
box ...
