Tell me about it. You see, I actually blame the LIST for my inability to
stop acquiring all things Olympus. Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Does everyone realize where I started? As of approximately last November, I
hadn't purchased anything OM related since 1979. Then I found this list. My
entire kit was:
Black OM-1MD
Black OM-2MD
Quantary 28 f/2.8
Zuiko 50 f/1.8
Vivitar 70-150 with match 2X
Bounce Grip 2
T32
Winder 1
Yep, that was it. My sole Zuiko was a 50 f/1.8. No purchases in 21,
count'em 21 years.
I had a lot to make up for.
As most of you know, my additions have mostly been in the form of finding
entire kits, keeping cool stuff and selling the rest. This time I have Lars
to thank for finding this one. Now all I have to do is jump up and down
until the pieces finally start arriving. This one is going to be
interesting. Not only did we all discover that there was a bellows and a
vari, but when he wrote me saying it was a deal (thanks again to the
anonymous list member--- you should show yourself!), he said something to
the effect of "I found a few more accessories to include, eyecups, an F280
etc". If he considers an F280 just an extra accessory, I'm expecting at
least a 90/2 macro to show up.
Yes, I blame the list.
