Congratulations! Have lots of fun with it!

I got one myself 4 weeks ago and mailed it right on to John H. because I
decided I'd let it have an overhaul before giving it any serious use. What
has me quite worried is that he had not received it by a week ago today. :-(

To help me better handle this worry I bought a very nice 2n 2 days ago; all
it needs is new back foam and it will be perfect (hope I'll get around to
doing the foam job later today). :-)

Thinking about it, it seems I somehow have a problem - this is the third
body I have acquired within the past 2 1/2 months (thus increasing my
inventory to 7), along with a flash, a Soligor 2x converter, a Makinon macro
converter, a Soligor winder, 1 XA w/A11, 1 XA-2 w/ A11, 3 Zuikos, 1 Tokina,
1 Sigma, 1 eyecup 1, 2 circ. polarizers, and several other filters and small
stuff. Not counting the OM-30 I bought and re-sold (wanted the original Oly
camera strap and the lens (one of the 3 Zuikos mentioned above) that came
with it. Ok, ok, I sold the Tamron 28-200 and a couple of filters - but
still, where is this going to lead? And how come I'm broke? And it all only
started because I wanted to replace the stuff that was stolen on the
Scotland trip in August! 
Which reminds me - I still must replace the Beattie screen that was in the
stolen 2n...... And though I have a 35-105 Zuiko now, I _really_ loved that
3.5-4.5/35-70 that was stolen.....


MtFbwy,
Volkhart
