Originally posted by totsmuyco If we've met during the film days I would be one of the people who would envy you. I used Canon AE-1s and the Nikon F2s during the film days. But how I envied the OM system. They were small and light. The system design and the lens were fantastic. If I had started with Olympus I would have stayed there till the film era ended. When I got back to photography my first digital DSLR was the E410 and then followed by the E30. Maybe if Olympus didn't kill the mount and improved the sensor I would've stayed with it.
I don't like to keep jumping from one system to another. It's too costly and having more than 1 system is difficult to maintain. Well maybe that's just me.
Yeah, with better marking and customer focus in the 1970's and 80's I feel Olympus could be a large force in the camera business today.
Wow - you're within striking distance of Crater of the Moon (I have some gools panoramas for there), Yellowstone and Glacier - location envy
I really enjoyed a day at Crater of the Moon.
I live in Lewes DE - lots of bird pictures
This is a tough time for changing horses. I feel mirrorless will dominate and SONY has a very big leg up. If they, along with SIGMA, come up with some solid 500/600 primes/zooms I may have to switch again. The SONY A9 just seems like a leader and my guess is that SONY, which replaces cameras quickly, already has a follow on close to ready.
I really enjoyed my years using Pentax.
