Yup!  However, for me, not often.  I'm more prone to screwing-up auto-
response stuff.  Why post only one stoopid message to the list, when
you can send a bunch?!?!?  :-)))

Anyway...

Maybe someone who's in the know can answer this one...  Is the
screwmount the same as other early screwmounts?  The Pentax, for
example?  If so, maybe non-Olympus lenses and accessories would
work?  (Assuming the use of heavy anti-rejection drugs, of course!)  :-)

Nothing worth getting all excited over, probably.

LOL!!!  Bien, le vendeur c'est précis!  At least in the sense that it's rare.
Doubtful that it justifies that price, though, even if it were "like new, in
the box" with all the paraphenalia.  When the two that are in my
database went on the block, I didn't have a clue what an FTL was.  Now
that I do, I might be tempted the next time one comes up, although that
might be awhile.

Hope someone can answer the question 'bout whether non-Oly stuff
would work with it.

Regards,

Chris
