I decided early on in my Zuiko addiction that I would use the system
components I purchased. Part of the joy to me is that these wonderful
instruments will produce wonderful photos if you use them up to their
potential. I suppose if one found a NIB M1 one might be justified in giving
it the museum treatment. But to me it exists to perform a function, ie. make
pictures. Sure use some care in it's handling and the environment it is used
in, but take pictures, enjoy!
