This kind of subject is what I've missed being offlist for the last year.
I'm sure there are other variations on this thread I've missed.
My technology status is somewhere between this and Schnozz's, being much
closer to Ag's I'm sure. Being somewhat preoccupied with health matters, I
haven't gotten out with my OM 5DmkII at all. E-5 + Pan/Leica 14-150 covers
nearly everything except fast. I've used my smaller E bodies a bit (E-400)
with plastic kit lenses (like 'em). I like the E-5 best with little
temptation to get small. Drooling for more pretzels? Not really but not
in possession of a Ctein print to get my brains on it.
