Hi Zuiks:

I've read a lot of complaints on the list about Olympus, and their (lack
of) support for the OM system.  They haven't developed a digital back,
no new lenses, no OM-5, blah blah.

When was the last time any of you bought anything NEW from Olympus?  We
buy our gear from used camera dealers, evil bay and each other.  None of
this puts one dime into the coffers of the Olympus Company.  They might
be inspired to do more with the system if they could occasionally look
at their P&L and say, "gosh, we sold something this month!"

I have bought a few OM-related items new: focusing screens, flash shoes,
a T-20 flash, etc.  Nothing cost over $100 USD.

So here is my new year's resolution: next year, I will buy something
expensive for the OM, and I will buy it new!  I'm thinking that a 85 mm
f/2 would be nice.  So there!
