You started going nuts in '68? OK, that's good. But it can't have been OM nuts
until late '72 or '73, although M nuts
could have started in '72. :-)
I have suffered from the OM affliction, as well, but only since the OM-1 came
out.

I'm a little confused. The E-5 has a fully articulated screen, no? The E-PL3 is
tilt up/down only. So it's the
combination of small size and tilt screen that's so exciting?
I am totally committed to articulated screen, at least until fully wireless
ones appear. They are game changers for me,
allowing things I couldn't do before.

I'm very happy for you!
