Ouch, ouch, ouch!!! Soligors and trainspotting ... what a, uhm, huh ...
_intoxicating_ idea! :-)
A propos Soligors, I just picked up a very nice looking, multi-coated
17mm f3.5 Soligor in OM mount (very solid, all-metal, with built-in
petal shaped lens hood, 72mm filter). This lens together with the more
ubiquitous RMC Tokina 17mm f3.5 (alas, not in OM mt :-/ ), is awaiting
evaluation. I'll report my impressions ASAP. Meanwhile, the elusive
"el cheapo" 18/3.5 Zuiko continues to elude me :-(

Oh, absolutely, "He-Man" Norton! Just be careful not to..., uhm, huh,
... ruffle their feathers? :-)

Oh Ken, why did you tell? Now we'll _have_ to kill them all :-)
Besides, I just hired a ghost writer to dish out my OLY list memoirs!
A Barbara Walters 2-hr "Kiss and Tell" Special is already in the works...
