I e-mailed Oly Japan over a month ago and mentioned that I have to add more
equipment ( have a couple of magazine stories to do) and wanted to know
what the status was with Oly and 35mm SLR. The PR Dept e-mailed back right
away saying it might take a little time to get an answer. Subsequently
e-mailed Tobinai (the person who responded to Dave about the ES-10) several
weeks ago and again no response. Sent another off today but it looks like
they are avoiding answering anything about SLR product at all. Dirk's
comment appear to be accurate.
