Hi everyone

Often wondered what VisionAge was all about.  Well, I've just downloaded the
VisionAge .pdf and it's fantastic!  All that interesting stuff about my (and
fellow Zuiks) OM4's.  I'm going to see what it looks like tonight when I do
a test print of a page on photo quality paper.  Definitely, a file for my
Oly archives.

I think the quality is excellent.  Wonderful stuff Mark! Greatly appreciated
- keep some more coming.
