You know, it's interesting to see someone try to gain control of a disparate
market.  One of the reasons that these nice lenses are finding their way
onto oBoy is that, ever-so-slowly, serious hobbyist photographers are
getting OUT of OM/35mm-film and into [please fill in the blank: MF, digital,
LF, etc.]   No one is out actively getting new OM'ers onboard.   The OM line
as a commercial enterprise is dead except in the second-hand market.  It
seems to me that the people who would be in the market for expensive "fast
glass" to USE probably already have it or are willing to do without.   That
leaves the collectors and they are usually only willing to pay for the
absolute best examples.  This is a shrinking market, no?

It will be interesting to see what becomes of his ploy ;-))).
