Boy, I wish I was that lucky person to pick up a cooler of Olympus gear!
Can you imagine the surprise, the astonishment? How many Zuikos can you
eat, prime or not prime? How about an OM1 for appetiter, OM2N for
salad/soup and OM4T for entree. On the side would be all the f2 primes!
Makes me think of Gary Schloss and the art of turning fine wines.
On a more serious note, well I still will do it. I sometimes use a cloth
grocery sack or funky backpack, both padded of course. And I don't forget.
I act neurotic about keeping them with me like Linus's blanket in Charlie
Brown. Then there is the famous french photographer who carried his camera
in a brown paper bag.
