Welcome back, Joel,
I don't think we ever actually corresponded, but I recall your chats
with AG over the years. I'm 89, so my adventures are rather limited. I
seem to shoot pictures of anything that flies, airplanes, skydivers,
birds, butterflies, etc. I started out with an E-510, bought a used
E-1, and, much later, bought a couple of Fujis.
I'm sorry to hear of your recent health problems. Twenty-five years
ago, I had two heart valves replaced, so I can relate to slow recovery
periods.
Seeking to use Autofocus for butterflies, I recently bought a used ZD
50-200 lens, second model. I am very impressed with this lens, but my
current body choices are E-1 (5MP) or E-510 (10MP), with limited AF
targets. I was considering purchasing a used E-3, which has 11 AF
targets. Since you seem to be happy with your E-5, I wondered if you
could comment on the professional follow-ons to the E-1. E-3s are
inexpensive these days, and I am tempted.

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.
