Dear Yamamoto-san,
ref:OM-5. On my WISH LIST is the following changes/additions:
* DIGITAL BACK with removable floppy disc for direct data-entry into a PC.
* Continue manufacturing Lenses and OM Cameras.
* Bring 'VISIONAGE' back into Print even if it is on 'e-mail'. At least put the
existing 10 issues on the NET?
* Reduce LENS flare in back lit subjects. Flare is much higher than the
competition, with 35/2.8 Shift and 18/3.5.
* Shutter button return CLICK noise very LOUD. This should be reduced to the
noise in down stroke. Any comments?

Yamamoto-san, your articles are well written.
Thanks. Sunil.
