1)   No
2)   No
3)   No
4) Olympus XA, Rollei 35 - the XA usually gets slide film and the Rollei B&W. I also have an old Petri rangefinder that was given to me by a friend - I shoot it occasionally.

As you can see I am pretty much in the OM camp.I really have not run into any real limitations with the OM system for the kind of photography I do. If I had a ton of spare change I would love to get a large format or field camera for landscape photography. I still have not seen anything in digital that meets my needs, although the new E-1 looks intriguing.

As for the rudeness, I gree - folks can see my separate post if interested.

I am just curious, as I am sure almost everybody has something other than their OM.

So I was wondering, do you have:

1)  Digital

2)  Medium Format

3)  Large Format

4)  Another 35mm system

As you probably all know, and are bored to death with it, I was going to plot down and get a medium format, but the (conflicting) advice of those around me, have told me I'll be happier with digital as a suppliment, as if I don't do 8x10's often, medium format doesn't buy me all that much, where as digital, instant review and endless adjustments is a better road to take..

And no, none of them will replace my OM. I love my OM, and what's more, it's paid for..

I'd love a digital SLR (and I'd like it to be another Olympus as well) but from the cost and quality I see, not really an option right now.

Thanks.
Albert.

(And people, what is up with being rude on this list lately? A simple "I respectfully disagree" is just fine. No need to make this into a C*non list)
