I got mine on Ebay at 5am this morning.  Man my story is boring 
compared to you guys!!!

Again, my friend is looking to buy a Canon Elan 7E with some sort of 
eye focus.  Whatever.  I remember my friend's minolta maxxum not 
working on our trip to Death Valley, and so I started looking for a 
fully manual camera.

That brought me to the Leica R6.2.  I love that thing!  (Hey, it's a 
leica, what's not to like?) But as I logged onto B&H's website and 
had to call for an ambulance when I saw the price tag...  I asked the 
question "Is there a small, compact 35mm that is of Leica quality and 
not so leica priced?"  After all the research, 1 came up.  OM-1.  So 
I read up on it, and discovered the Zuikoholics...  

Boring story huh?  No Kim the yearbook editor (I liked the story!), 
no trying to defend the world against the likes of the would-be 
Nikonians who are trying to take over the earth..  Just read up and 
purchased.
